Copper is soldered. Has it broken in the casting of the tap itself (in which case what you are thinking is copper is going to actually be brass), or is it the pipes leading to the tap which are broken (in which case they will be copper)?

Feeling amazing after my big swim last night! Did 50 lengths, really concentrating on my breathing and getting my head under the water, plus an awesome sleepover with my man Today I am working, then hopefully getting out for a run and then my Tri Club Christmas Meal...! So all in all, feeling good today!
