Solvent weld........but do a complete dry fit first, and when all the pipes are fully home, mark where the joint comes to on the pipe so that when you come to gluing them up you get everything pushed fully home. You haven't got time to muck about with that solvent weld stuff.

Bought a fruit salad except the melon all basic stuff grown and packed in South Africa. Cannot ever get my head around food miles.
I have a question quandry where I work, anyone know anything about cesspits?
I just found out the bloke who owns the site has been syphoning out the liquid element in to a field not 250ft away. No wonder it kicks up so much when the wind blowsv or when it's waterlogged.
I think has to be a health risk?

It depends if it is a cesspit, or a septic tank. Theoretically, the latter isn't quite such a problem. However, if it is just a cesspit then the Environment Agency would put an immediate stop to it, I reckon, if someone were to tell them. If there is any sort of watercourse anywhere near, or if the field is used for growing commercial crops, then it could potentially end up in court.

I thought it was a septic tank all these years but he has just decommissioned it and I found out it was a cesspit 7+ years. 15+ people 4 toilets bleach antivaantibac hand washes the lot!
The field is not his not regularly farned but used for hay or sheep. It slopes past me and ends at a feeder stream so I would imagine it finds its way there eventually.
The small sewage retreatme plant looks a bit iffy to be too
Domestic-scale sewage treatment plants can be really good. Really, really good.
So this guy was discharging raw sewage onto land he doesn't own, potentially polluting a watercourse. I'd need a really good reason not to go straight to the Environment Agency with that.

I think my problem with solvent weld in this instance, is that once installed, I would have to hacksaw it to take it out/apart.
I suspect the ability to dismantle for unblockingcleaning in the future, may outweigh the more robust sealing of solvent weld?
You should design any waste pipe runs, anywhere, such that they can be rodded without taking them apart (other than unscrewing a rodding eye or a trap).

We use a company who calibrate our equipment, the lady turned up today to return an item but it was too heavy for her to lift out of the back of her car. I offered her the services of a muscly Polish lad, she replied: oh yes great
