Monobloc kitchen tap has been leaking from the cartridge area, can't find replacement cartridges - they're a weird size
Ordered another tap online - has to be a specific colour for the wife
Tap arrives and I fit it . . and find the threads on the flexi hoses are different to the existing ones, and have a different fitting at the other end
Cue lots of messing about adapting existing pipework so they fit - instead of simply using the existing hoses.
At my age, with lower spine arthritis, I can do without buggering about under a sink
