You must be the only DIY'er I know thats doesn't have a few pieces of
copper pipe in his toolbox, mind you 2.8m is going to be hard putting it in
your toolbox. :-)

I'm only a young lad - my tool box is still in its infancy! Besides,
28mm is fairly uncommon - I do have plenty of bits of 15mm around and
the odd bit of 22mm.

The ironic thing was the we needed a bit earlier and we went and raided
my grandfather's celler (all sorts in there if you can find it!) We
found the only bit of 28mm that he had, which was literally about 4
inches long and just enough for what we needed (or so we though!)
