Well, obviously not OK for you ~ most annoying in fact.
Clearly I am unaware (until today) of how the "plumbing" is organised in Cyprus and that's why I asked. My water supply pipes are a couple of feet underground (as I discovered when I had a water meter fitted) and I assumed, incorrectly, that such roolz would apply in most places.
The question was not intended as a wind-up. I thought that perhaps you were digging deep to plant something or other.
As it is I guess you ended up with an unwanted water feature.
Having a house built in 1949 to a pre-war plan ~it was started in 1939 but building was suspended for the duration + a couple of years as building materials were "rationed" I have the weirdest collection of pipe fittings that constantly produce much tooth sucking from plumbers.
I could post you some 1/2" fittings
