Not a picture of my face but it's still me - and my chest.

T-shirt my brother-in-law brought back for me after he returned to the Falkland Islands for the 25th Pilgrimage < all I can find about it sorry. He's been really suicidal for about the last 10 years and goes to some sort of private holiday resort-come-clinic paid for by Combat Stress. He had dinner with Maggie before flying down to Brazil then onto the Falkland's where he toured the islands with the locals and their Land Rovers. Found his own fox-hole and stayed with the same family who sheltered him after the surrender.
 
And the cast iron bath was soooo heavy had to cut it in half to get it out. Longer than a standard bath nowadays and heavy as a tank. My poor little angle grinder had its work cut out for it
 
Old 1/2" copper = big bucks at the scrappie! You can get adapters in compression, soldered and even Speedfit and I always carry a few of each in the van.

All under floor and I didn't want to do anything but solder it. Especially as it will be tiled over.
Yea the pipework I took out is very damn heavy. Got a few meters of 3/4 and a few 1/2.

Stick some clean bog roll in your ears, and smash it into four pieces starting with the week point the plug hole. Use a lump hammer.

This bath was also ridiculously heavy and thick. That might have worked with the bath I took out at home but this one was solid.
I reckon you'd have a hard time with a sledge and a splitting mual

Need more than bog roll in your ears, it's like standing inside Big Ben when you use a lumpy. I've seen pieces fly off and embed themselves in plasterboard too before now so always remember your goggles. Better to look silly than have a piece of cast iron stuck in your eyeball.
 
Would I be right in saying this is known as 20 thread or is that something else???
 
There's a lot of threaded copper in Leicester area. You can get brass ef adapters for soldered joints. I have a few in the van, plumb center Leicester stock them for that reason.
 
Ill have to take a trip down there. The ones I got were from b & m plumbing in syston.

Use an old dust sheet in the bath! Stops enamel flying in all directions! Check the ceiling below first tho, & worn customer it may pop the screw heads that are plastered over etc! Then hit it!!!!!!
 
the real question is how did that man balance on that "ornament" on croppies fireplace
