Bloody hell - so no need to freeze it?
How did you stop yourself getting soaked?
Reminds me of when we moved in to this house, the pressure here is quite high (I have a pressure reducing valve fitted to take it to 3 bar but I reckon it comes in at least double that). Anyway, in those days I was even dafter than I am now and the stopcock under the sink was seized. I got a _single_ set of grips to it and you can guess what happened next.
I ripped it off and it absolutely fking blasted me with ice cold water in that cupboard. Meanwhile I was shouting at the wife to find the water company to turn off the water. It really was like a laurel and hardy sketch or something. Eventually got it down to a drip and spent the next month researching "alkathene pipe" !! Water company took over 2 days to fit external stop tap despite internal flood.

How did you stop yourself getting soaked? Down to underpants for a job like that, no choice unless you have a wetsuit handy  |

I put a big old towel over the pipe I'm working on, you still get wet but not as bad.  Black alkethene pipe you can use a pipe clamp on that mate, bit late now though !  |

Hmm I was thinking the water would be static before you removed the tap (or cut the pipe). Very nice to know about the alkathene. Something like this www.toolstation.com/shop/p39855 or it that for the wife's thumb? |

I love a pub toilet, I stand weeing and have a really good look around , I see the piss poor attempt at sealing a urinal cistern outlet with electrical tape, missing grout on new metro tiles etc. I was in an old pub in Wakefield and it had those slab urinals and about 30mm of vertical grout was missing between slabs so I thought I'd piss in it but it sprayed back out and back on me.
