Pirate Plumbers ... the sequel

So knobhead B&N Plumbers (the second plumbers called in) have three strikes:

1. fitted the incorrect size waste trap - in the old days, sure 50mm was okay, but today's standards and regulations specify 80mm, and 100mm is better. Uh... it's been this way for quite a number of years now guys. Catch up.

2. put the toilet pipe in the wrong position, despite having the toilet right there? Not new technology fellas.

3. aaaand they put the pipes for the diverter (bath/shower) too far back, which has now meant ripping the tiles off, breaking into the villaboard sheet, extending the pipework. Now we have to re-sheet, re-waterproof, re-tile and re-grout, and cross fingers it's all good. 

Thanks guys, your level of ineptitude was matched only by your bill, and our disbelief. Yes we needed some plumbers in a hurry as the first guy screwed us around - we just didn't think we'd get screwed again and have to pay handsomely for the pleasure. So don't use B&N Plumbing!
