Not Essex or anywhere like that!!!

I was making a new bottom hose up for my car the other day and wanted to do away with the convoluted hose which had cracked (again). I bought an ordinary pinto bottom hose and cut it and joined a straight piece of 32mm pipe in by using 28mm copper plumbing fittings jubilee clipped in. I went into the local plumbers merchant and told him what I was looking for and he said, "What you need is some YORKSHIRE fittings". I would have preferred proper Derbyshire gear but what do you do?

yours, Pete.

proper Derbyshire gear................ Not sure the first two words can be used in the same context but YORKSHIRE fittings are definitely the correct ones. Derbyshire ones are far too woolly and soft !!

The sad part is that Chris probably believes it........

The best thing ever to come out of Yorkshire is the M 62....

Er, I think that goes into Yorkshire actually


Alan B - 22/8/03 at 08:07 PM

Er no......

It comes OUT of Yorkshire...so that you can get IN to Lancashire......

Gods county, you sad Yorkie wannabes.

Cheers

You have to go through passport control at junction 32 though.

yours, Pete.

And before anyone questions my loyalty I better add I'm on a secret mission for the Lancashire embassy.....spreading the word to the colonies (drinking draught Bodds etc.).......and certainly not lounging around the pool all day....

Afternoons maybe...
