I suppose you could get away by crossing
flexible hoses, but it wouldn't look very good in the cupboard under the
sink.

What!? [1]

It would take me 5 minutes to empty out under the sink enough to be
able to even *see* the pipes and what sort of things do you or any
visitors do! ;-)

You can do it in as short a times as that, eh? My, your cupboard /must/
be tidy.

Visitor: "Ere, Jeff, I was just looking in the cupboard under your
sink and noticed that you have the tap flexi hoses crossed over. Care
to explain ...?" weg

'Most people' don't seem to know where the wall stops and the ceiling,
light switch, architrave starts, judging by their painting skills and
that's in plain sight so ... ?

[1] No, I actually get it but whilst I wouldn't have installed any of
it that way if I was doing it all myself, I wouldn't have any problems
crossing some flexies if I was fixing someone else's f'up with the
least inconvenience to me (especially when it's all out of sight).

Visitors? Who's taking about visitors? I'm talking about "The
Management" (aka SWMBO). whose beady eye sees all.

Ah, I'm lucky, I'm with someone who knows what's important. As long as
her Yamaha XV750 Virago motorbike was suitably polished she would be
happy. ;-)

You would never hear
the end of it -

I would ...

"Can't you do something about those pipes?", etc, etc. ;-)

If mine said that (about something that was functional) she'd have to
do it herself or pay someone to do it. ;-)
