Right then chaps. Stepsister wants the gas cooker from my late stepmums house. Currently connected with a bayonet fitting. My brother ( who's executor of the will ) is insisting its got to be a GS Registered course cowboy who has to literally unplug the cooker. He's also saying as it's not a temporary?? disconnection, the bayonet fitting has to be removed and the pipe capped off. I'm trying my best to convince him this isn't the case, but as per usual his nuclear physics degree ( yes he's got one of those) tells him that a GS reg is needed. How can I convince him this isn't the case ?

We're waiting on probate being granted before the house can go up for sale ( looking at 5-9 months before this happens) I personally think my brothers being a bit anal about this. Looks things up on the internet and starts quoting regs etc. Reads what he sees but misses the point Tom. He even told me most people buy houses with cookers already in them. Out the back a fence panel blew down with the wind. I've checked prices of a panel ( around £30) and I'll slot it into place, but brother wants to get a fencing company in to replace it ( around (£100+) Honestly he's got more money than sense. He mentioned that the house needs some paintwork doing. Because it will be going up for sale at some point, I said I'll go up and just touch up where needed. ( cost zero) He wants to get a company in to paint every room ( cost (£1000 +)

100% correct Tom👍👍 JJ, nip to the gaff when your brother is away getting his colonic irrigation, remove the cooker & stick one of these in the bayonet Valve. www.bes.co.uk/gasm8-bayonet-cooker-hose-socket-blanking-plug-21067/Tell him you’ve a mate that’s GS Registered & he did it for you. You’ll buy him a Pint the next time you see him in the Pub. Listen, you don’t need a Uni Degree, letters after your name or be intelligent, to be a right smartarse, I’m living proof of that👍👍 |

Just a further point. If your brother is English, he’ll want ‘half a shandy’. The English sit in the Pub all evening nursing ‘half a shandy’ not a Pints.
Buy your ‘imaginary’ GS mate a Pint.
Nothing a Jock loves more than not buying a drink!!

They’re trying to keep in with the EU, so Dickie boy will probably be on the Peroni, Grolsch or whatever beer is popular in the EU. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

Aye tappy Tennants 9% beer will be for breakfast but, Scotsmen will wash their feet in the Famous gross coloured water, I'd say Dick will be a single malt person and watches diligently for any person putting water in the glass at which he goes over and gives them a Glasgow Kiss,  |
