Slow Oil leak over winter 2012/13 destroying back garden. Priceless.

That reminds me of a headline in my local paper a few years ago.

Watch out! Oil thieves about!

A couple of weeks later came the bitter truth. The tank had sprung a leak.

The oil lost wasn't cheap either. It was a tank for a block of flats.

Twice.

[eek]

Why would you expect a plumber (or Plummer) would be more fastidious checking for leaks than a motivated DIYer?

Because that motivated DIYer is pacharan and every post of his demonstrates and confirms his gross *****ness and total incompetence.

Goon on ya. What's the point in paying for something you can do yourself.
