What happened to that banter? Now it is political statements and Brexit.
Posters here continue to do a disservice to themselves by adding noise.


Where's Dr Drivel? I miss his posts.


Pretty certain he posted here recently. Likely bored being locked in at
home. Under a different name, of course.

Some of his stuff was very useful. Some just what you'd expect from a
plumber who doesn't have to live with his work. ;-)

Many of his posts were essentially comical abuse. Whether the comical
side was intentional, who knows.

He was very well informed.

I get the impression he must have been getting on a bit - much of his
plumbing related dogma was firmly fixed in the past, going to great
lengths to solve problems that modern systems don't usually have anyway.
