Aarrgh - need a break - I'm plumbing a new kitchen.

Lots of people say how good the plastic pipe is, and it is used on
a
lot of newbuild, so I thought I'd try it.
But I hate it. It curls up on itself, you can't put a bend in it,
the joints are huge,

What joints?
If you use plastic you don't need many joints.
On a new build you would put in a manifold and run a pipe to each
outlet with no joints at all.

You can do that with copper using microbore.

I wouldn't run mains water through 10 m of microbore if I were you.
I certainly wouldn't run gravity fed hot water through 10 m of micro.

That depends on if you are in a hard water area or not.

No it depends on if you want some water to flow at the far end.

You don't know much about this stuff do you? 10mm is more than adequate
to supply a basin, even under gravity.

You don't have a bath or a shower or a garden tap or anything useful?

You are very confused.
