Stuff that gets in the way of Golf

[Bikky73]

Well there we were, me and the mrs, Showering for early night on Saturday. To be up early Sunday, Walk the dogs then GOLF YAY.

Gets out of shower... what's that noise says Chelle......

Oh bugger, showers leaked all over the kitchen......

As it turns out, some pikey's nicked the lead flashing from the join on the side of the house to the garage roof, and in the process, dislodged the outlet pipe from the shower, pulling it out of the U-bend. So 20 mins of showering (10 each) water had gone straight through the kitchen ceiling.... No early night, no round of golf :angry:

The police say the flashing can't of been nicked in day light... :sbox: However at lunchtime we'd showered. Gone out for our sports massages and accupunctre, and was home at 4. The neighbour ironing from 3pm saw nothing other than us coming home. And when we showered to get rid of the oils from our session water pissed into the kitchen.

For the sake of £15 worth of scrap lead, we've got ruined a kitchen ceiling, cupboards and flooring.

I'll smash each finger in turn with a hammer if I get my hands on them. Because on Sunday evening putting the washer back under the worktop, it's feet slipped on a damp bit, and the whole weight trapped my thumb :thup:.

And now that also means Thursday (me and mrs off work) when another day's golf was possible, i'm going to have to repair all the pointing on the side of the house, and replace the flashing... this time with flashband, so there's no need to nick it.

Thats a tough break mate. Metal theft is going wild at the moment. At least you got your massage though eh?. Did it have a happy ending.....

You really should save water by showering together

Tough break, sorry to hear about that - can't stand thieves! (who can?)

We were together, :ears:

decided not to try anything on in the shower, I was going to, glad I didn't cos that might of been another 1/2 hours worth of shower water on the kitchen floor.

an extra 2 mins worth of water wouldn't of made much difference mate

Replace it with zinc, cheap as chips and worthless as scrap so I believe. It also must have been a tiny amount to only be worth £15! As for the coppers who told you they only do nick the lead at night, what a load of absolute horse manure!

22 mins... it would take 20 mins to choose the music.

And I bet you hit your driver 300 yards plus. Into the wind. Uphill.

Sick child means no golf for me today. All setup to whack the RBZ for an couple of hours, and now sitting at home instead

Not much consolation to the OP, but I read that the government's introducing legislation to make it an offence for scrap dealers to buy scrap for cash in hand and keep records of the transactions. Probably a thousand ways round it though.

Last year my company had some gunmetal and lead/tin alloy machine components nicked. The scrap value would have been around £400. The cost to replace the parts was £26000.

 

[Bikky73]

Yeah, they couldv'e nicked the old cast drain pipes, and save me a trip to the tip.
