Geez guys waht a great bunch ya are, I take it all back - ya not the money grabbing bunch of cowboys that most people think plumber are
Ya kind, gentle, friendly always willing give sound advice. Thanks.
Andrew I know the F****G main stop cock is meant to accessible - go tell ALL the kithen 'fitters' in the UK that would ya please! They should be fined, don't THEY have a book of Regs? Sort it out? Now me sister-in-law is great but rebuild her kitchen units? All I was offering to do was change a tap washer (and anything else she might fancy!)
Scruff, ya a cheeky devil, NO I wud not change a socket with isolating supply. BUT I swear our lecturer, when I did a wee plumbing course, change a tap washer without isolating supply. May have been dreaming coz it was one of THE most boring courses I have ever done and fell asleep most of the time. A 12" fuse! Blimey mate when ya said 12" I was thinking "...here we go plumbers boasting again...." then I read fuse.
GReg - the most sane man here!! Ya Ya reckon it is possible? Its the hot tap so I follow ya logic. The Combi is a damn great thing Errrr...Worcester-Bosch... she had TERRIBLE problems getting it serviced NO local guys could handle it, had to come from the UK representatives. Looks like the control centre for a nuclear power station inside - now, which tap do I turn for hot water off? ummm.... BANG!! Poof, Wabbit in space... Nope not that one.......
Thanks again me thinks I will get her to get Master Plumber in and I will go to the pub instead....
