We all learn by our mistakes and the last time was just so unfortunate and a bizarre set of circumstances that could never happen again  rubschin:

I've fitted, well to be correct, helped a friend fit those ~ he used to sell 'em. Piece o' cake as long as there is the space to work in, trouble was that so many people wanted the bloody things in the most inconvenient spaces imaginable. Some wimmin had it all planned for a cupboard bloody miles away from the water inlet and nowhere near their taps either. Never occurred to them that the fecking water had to go into and out of the bloody contraption so we'd turn up on the appointed day and the lady of the house would announce that her husband (with whom my mate had discussed the matter and quoted to) was (a) not there because he was at work and (b) she had emptied a "more suitable cupboard" in the back bedroom because she didn't want to lose storage space in her kitchen. Always said with a girlish giggle and the words "You boys just don't understand kitchens" Banghead
We walked away from several jobs telling the housewife that we would only do the installation when her husband could be there.

Permutit used to be V Expensive (prolly still are but these things are relative) and only older people with large houses and money had them ~ from this you may deduce that the wimmin with the girlish giggles were always at least twice my age, sometimes three times (I was in my early twenties) and more often than not her old man was a stock broker or summat. It  certainly wasn't our bodies they wanted ~ just a water softener so they could brag about it at their bridge club. The domestic water softener was the latest must have for the rich in those days, along with a petrol driven lawn mower in the garage.
