Been through a bit of that recently. I'm getting better at it now I don't expect anything to work first time.
Had to do a bit of work with a plumber recently, was talking to him about a fused spur. He said "can't trust them can you, you switch them off and they're still live", which confused me for a while. Then I realised that if you live in a world of plumbing it's quite possible the fused spur was wired by a plumber so they might have wired it incorrectly first time around.
Same thing seems to apply with plumbing. Everyone thinks they'll have a go so you get people trying to connect euro basin wastes to 1 1/4 traps and sometimes they make it work for a while but ultimately someone needs to fix it. (S12A-F is the McAlpine EU -> 1 1/4" adaptor).

In the Europe, is all plumbing metric?
I’ve been at the water-Lego in our place the last two weeks and the number of stupid sizes, variations between manufacturers and obtuse naming conventions is staggering. Of course a 2” pipe isn’t actually 2 inches. Or 51mm. It’s just a random number somewhere in that ballpark. And there’s three different sizes depending on manufacturer. Oh and push fit, compression and solvent weld are all different sizes too. And supply and drain are all different sizes. And the boss on the side of this ring seal soil stack fits nothing that has ever been manufactured.
