Our house is 20 years old, so I guess we should count ourselves lucky, as it has lasted that long!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good advice and taking the time to read all this.<BR/><BR/>MaggieMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149850205484929079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11611917.post-80285680091989662402008-11-05T12:20:00.000-08:002008-11-05T12:20:00.000-08:00Hi Maggie,If the leaking water pipe is gray in col...Hi Maggie,<BR/><BR/>If the leaking water pipe is gray in color and flexible, you best have it all replaced, along with all its fittings. It will continue to develop pin holes, especially in the hot water lines. If it what I'm thinking it is, the stuff is good for only a few years before leaks start. At least that is the way it was in a house we lived in in the early 80's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11611917.post-51865137916800308452008-11-03T15:57:00.000-08:002008-11-03T15:57:00.000-08:00Thank you for that explanation.

Being tourists and not understanding I guess we assumed it was the 'tip'. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the name of the bicycle.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149850205484929079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11611917.post-75600780414450567972008-11-03T14:13:00.000-08:002008-11-03T14:13:00.000-08:00Of course I don't know how you got into that situa...Of course I don't know how you got into that situation at the restaurant, but there is no such thing as imposed tipping. VAT is 6% and usually people give at least 10% in tips. 19% is VAT on products, not for having dinner in restaurants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11611917.post-65980631355962959622008-11-03T14:10:00.000-08:002008-11-03T14:10:00.000-08:00Photo 2: it's called a 'bakfiets', aka a cargo bik...Photo 2: it's called a 'bakfiets', aka a cargo bike.
