Many years ago I was working in a shop in Sheffield and asked where the stop tap was?
The manager replied "Err we haven't got one follow me.
We then went down to the cellar where this rather battered looking lead pipe ran horizontally the manager picked up a lump hammer and started to trash the pipe until it was squashed hence turning the water off!
To get it back on you hit it again until water started flowing!!
You couldn't make it up could you?
What we thought was strange is that during all the previous pipe flattening's no one had ever thought to wipe in a proper stop tap!
