Plumbing bits arrived. 09:21 - Jul 23 with 1657 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...

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.
