Plumbing bits arrived. 09:21 - Jul 23 with 1317 viewsNthQldITFC

Just had a delivery including what I would have termed a 'toilet/cistern float valve'. It's the common type where the pipework enters the cistern from the bottom, not the side as many used to.

Being of a juvenile mindset, I can't help giggling that it is called a 'bottom entry fill valve' these days, particularly when I envisage the situation where a plumber might have the name Phillip Valve.

On a similar note, I often see a van about for 'ICP plumbing', which also tickles me.

Sorry.

...."sounds like a load of ballcocks"

When I thought "I'll just check if Keno has beaten me to it".

This is a true story.

Try fitting them for a living, the fun and laughter soon turns to hate and anger.

The "Diaper" part comes from the name of the founders (back in Haughley in 1911) - the logo on the van graphically represents the Diaper name via the rhombic shape containing the English flag...

Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?

Good explanation!

However it still looks less than appealing when it's delivering chicken to the restaurant for those not in the know :).

Many years ago I worked for a company that had a “bottom warehouse”.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Maybe their slogan should be:

"We've got bloomin' 'appy chickens...."

My days are spent dealing with glands, nipples and flanges.
In real life they aren’t that funny.

Never forget the gasket.
Always check your nuts.
