You, on the other hand, who thought he knew better than the
instructions, bodged a job by using a hack saw and then wondered why
he didn't get satisfactory results are advocating that others do the
same.


Now you're suggesting that I'm dumb?


The laugh is that probably anyone with a modicum of skill and sense could
make a satisfactory cut without the special tool in an emergency.

IMM failed.


You couldn't make a joint with any tool.

Exactly. An pro can do that with a number of tools.


So by definition, you're an amateur, because you ballsed it up.

A hacksaw can score the external surface of a pipe? How? A good one

make a
nice straight clean cut, and then finish off with fine files knives etc.



ROTFL.


You did! I bet you laugh at the Vicar of Dibley too.


I have no idea who he is.


So I need to buy a hacksaw and set of files and a knife at
considerably more than £5 for the proper tool and take about five
times longer to do the job?

Brilliant idea. Do you have any others?


You are very silly. If you have a few of these plastic joints to do, you
can do it with available tools. Hepworth said so.


Some men are discovered, others are found out. On that particular
statement I don't think you were discovered.

You have already been told that snipping does not actually erase the
original statement, so I'll put it back as you are obviously as thick as
two short planks and can't read what is in front of your eyes. Everyone
else here can see crystal clear what Hepworth actually said, not the
mis-quote you give. Hepworth must be laughing their socks off at your
drivel on here, watching you get deeper and deeper in the ****.

/ACTUAL COPY OF TEXT FROM GOOGLE/
From: (Hepworth Plumbing)
Date: 1998/02/24
Message-ID:
Organization: Hepworth Plumbing

"It is recommended that a purpose designed pipe cutter is used for
cutting Hep2O (and indeed all plastics pressure pipes) to ensure that
the pipe end is clean cut and free of burrs. A hacksaw should definitely
NOT be used."

DO YOU SEE IT NOW???

"A hacksaw should definitely NOT be used."

THIS IS WHAT HEPWORTH ACTUALLY POSTED. LOOK, IT'S JUST 3 LINES UP.
YES, REALLY. DO TRY TO READ IT, IT WON'T HURT.
Err.. yes it will.

/ANOTHER COPY STRAIGHT OUT OF GOOGLE/
From: "Hepworth Plumbing Products"
References:
Organization: Hepworth Plumbing Products

"We do recommend the use of a Hep2O pipe cutter, however any pipe cutter
designed to cut plastics pipes should be suitable. One of the major
advantages of a purpose designed cutter is speed, however the
requirements for the cutter are that it should cut the tube square
without scoring or scratching the pipe or leaving burrs or swarf which
could get under the 'O' ring. It is for this reason that hacksaws should
not be used.

LOOK, LOOK. DO YOU SEE IT IN THIS POST TOO???

"It is for this reason that hacksaws should not be used."

THIS IS WHAT HEPWORTH ACTUALLY POSTED. LOOK, IT'S JUST 3 LINES UP.

The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable
clean, square cut using a variety of tools."

AFTER GIVING IT GREAT THOUGHT, I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THEY MEAN YOU SHOULD
NOT USE A WHATSITSNAME, YOU KNOW, METAL FRAME-THING WITH A TOOTHY
BLADE,... UM... GOTTIT,... HACKSAW. YES THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.

To readers with normal hearing, apologies for shouting, but IMM seems to
be hard of thinking.

As to not using a hacksaw then how do they expect you to cut the pipe?


Dunno, I give up.... No wait a minute, let me think. Don't suppose it
could be a - what was they said... hang on let me just look up a few
paragraphs. Oh, yes, a pipe-cutter.

With a lazer torch?


You have been watching too much sci-fi.

The only implement is a ...wait for it...hacksaw...and


Almost right. You just left out two words - *except a* - hacksaw.


then, as they say..."The inventive can find many ways of achieving a
perfectly acceptable clean, square cut using a variety of tools."...to clean
it up.


You also misunderstood what they intended the "variety of tools" to be
used for. Its clear they mean they are for cleanly cutting the pipe, NOT
for cleaning it up.

_They_ (UKGovernment) have to do it anyway ...!
It is a _requirement_ of the European Commissioners as
agreed by the Council of Ministers that Europe is to
be composed of Regions and not Countries. We are in
an interim arrangement when the transition is to take
place. Two-Jags is the guy (either a zealot or a mug) that's
tasked with implementing the European decision.
[In 1997 he had the title SoS Department of Transport,
Environment and the Regions -DTER- that's been chipped
away to 'the Regions'] He's already achieved 'success in
Scotland and Wales -which map onto EU Regions- now
he's attempting to implement the requirement in England-
which Brussels stipulate must be several units.
To get it back on track to D-I-Y; all Eight-by-Fours must be

and you will only be able to purchase it using Euro-money.

It's a two way street. Democracy only works if the politicians know

Spot on. Tne opposition are nopw spending alot of time oppsoing these
regions as they see it of denting the government in rather foolish way. It
has to happen.

To get it back on track to D-I-Y; all Eight-by-Fours must be
sold as 2240x1220;


So it should. Go into Wickes and see the wood sizes. We have fitted
kitchen units in mm for over 30 years.

red/black becomes brown/blue


The wiring should have gone over to brown blue in the 1970s. Being British
we only half went over. Appliances have brown/blue. We should go fully
metric instead of this half cocked situation we have. We buy petrol by the
litre, but cars are rated in miles per gallon. That is utterly stupid.

and you will only be able to purchase it using Euro-money.


The sooner the better. Well when it is advantageous to us valuewise.

Not in a hole. Not digging. Hepworth said you don't need a specialist
cutter. That was clear.


snip tripe



I think that when you did your original snipping, that you snipped the
important bit which was *not* to use a hacksaw, but left the tripe
behind.

I wouldn't apply for a job as newspaper editor if I were you......

Hepworth said you don't need a specialist cutter. That was clear.



What they actually said was:


"We do recommend the use of a Hep2O pipe cutter, however any pipe
cutter designed to cut plastics pipes should be suitable. One of the
major advantages of a purpose designed cutter is speed, however the
requirements for the cutter are that it should cut the tube square
without scoring or scratching the pipe or leaving burrs or swarf which
could get under the 'O' ring. It is for this reason that hacksaws
should not be used.

The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable
clean, square cut using a variety of tools."


Presumably you're not inventive...........

The above clearly says that a specialist pipe cutter tool need not be used.
Can you understand that? Nah don't reply, you can't.

If you read the *complete* quote which you selectively edited then the
position is quite clear.

You have focussed only on the throw-away line. They are not saying
that they recommend or even that it's a good idea to use a "variety of
tools" - it's simply an observation that the inventive could do it.

In the rest of the quote, and in the instructions on the web site (and
indeed on the web sites of all other manufacturers), one is
specifically told not to use a hack saw.

So the reality is that you didn't read the instructions, used a
hacksaw (which you are told not to do) and, screwed up.
You didn't even display inventiveness in coming up with an
alternative.

To say that your position is untenable would be understating the
situation considerably. Government ministers have resigned for less.

You're right - it isn't worth it. One can generally reason with
children and those where the elevator doesn't go to the top floor, but
this would be a special case even for the saintly.

To quote the psychiatrist in Fawlty Towers:

"There's enough material here for an entire conference,"
