Taps cause Late Lunch

Just after getting back from WH Smith with the latest copy of Elektor (which has a letter/post from me about the unbelievable specs of their milling machine kit in it this month, hehe!) I was handed a spanner and asked to fix a leaking pipe in one of the bathrooms. after tightening the appropriate nut it was decided to reseat the taps in new whiteing since the old stuff had never set and the nylon back nuts were too squooshey and so never actually do their job. This then resulted in several hours work, 2 trips to home base to get bits and me getting wet 3 times. After taking the taps off it was decided to fit new ceramic inserts into them then after finishing one bathroom it was thought best to do the taps in the other one since i was already damp and had all the appropriate tools. So much for a relaxing lunch flipping through the pages of my shiny new mag.
