For anyone who happens to be interested or likes a chuckle:

Had a couple of parts needed changing on the heating system yesterday.
Travelled to the shop ‘that sells everything’ and upon finding the isle containing the plumbing components proceeded to select the components required.
Thought I ort to do the ‘right thing’ and sourced components that had the ‘Made in UK’ sticker on the packaging.
Oh boy…
Returned to said ‘Store of all parts’ and obtained a refund.
Returned to the isle containing the plumbing components and used logical acquisition instead of misguided Patriotism.
These parts worked perfectly upon installation.
The sources for all these parts, in order of: function,cost, and importance, are as follows:

Germany
France
China
USA

So if you are on a space vehicle of any description and some of the plumbing parts are made in the UK, keep a close eye on them, but don’t touch them.

Ugh. Blu stuff in Southern Nevada. No sun today, but lots of wind, for sure. *sigh*

Hiya, Moose!
