new stop cock
This weekend Kevin popped around with his supped-up white van and extensive De-Walt toolkit. Kevin replaced the stop cock under the kitchen sink, replaced a couple of washers, showed me his toolkit and van customisations, offered me a half-price radiator, discussed replacing my kitchen, explained about the Canadian plummer training system, and told me about his courtcase against a tap manufacturer because their tap design is just so silly it breaks within 6 months and he’d installed 26 of them in a rich client’s house.
Kevins weekly visits are definitely one of life’s luxuries.

Somebody drank his van? Supped it up until it was all gone? Crikey, I bet he was annoyed.
Fortunately it appears he’s trained to get plums, and Canadian ones at that.
I’d suggest a plumber in a souped-up van might actually be of more use in your stopcock and washer replacing situations, but that’s just me wanting the job done by a professional.

souping up is probably what happens before supping up.
