So have I!

Eg, just for fun, pick any item from the range of solvent weld waste
pipes
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/cat.jsp?cId=101249&ts=95697
and see if you can spot the slightly confusing 'deliberate mistake' in
the product listing...

Slightly puzzled by the "tightening", but not using solvent will certainly
make assembling the runs less messy. Another great innovation.....
