I have only heard the phrase 'green olive' in connection with fruit.

For the record I buy all my plumbing stuff from a local independent plumbers
merchant rather than online/shed. They are featured on my web site.

Sorry if I misunderstood.

Never heard of getting green olives from plumber's merchants either. I'd
have lumped it in with the long weight school of apprentice rite-of-passge
prank.

And I do have a little stock of 3/4" olives that fit 22mm compression
fittings in my van. Bought from BES, but if I were desperate I'd get some
from a PM ... but I'd expect a long weight too ;-)
