    Default Tap leak

    It started with a tap leak.

    In the old days I would simply open the tap and change the washer. Now with these new fancy taps I could not open the bloody thing so had to buy a £20 tool to try and open it but could not get the grip.

    So bought £90 new tap instead. Then had to go back to the shop beacuse the fittings did not match my current ones. Put everything in place and water leaking everywhere. Took a total of 4 hours and without water all night.

    Moral of the story, call a plumber and not do DIY.

    Andre these jokes deserve to be on the jokes thread, they are truly awful that they become good.

    It is but the water does not turn off instantly which you would expect from a new tap. It dribbles like Maradona.

    Let it go, it was 1986 and the second goal was great.
