Fibreglass will do it - get some from Halfords - you can use a tin with acivator or be more sophisticated and use the mesh.

You wont get a pretty repair.


You can get repair tape from Toolstation etc

Tape less messy than fibreglass

Not clear why it's spilt and not a place where you'd expect it to split either. If you can remove the lower two brackets, replace the final piece of pipe with a new one from one of the local DIY stores or All Type roofing on the Lane, they may have an odd piece knocking around the yard (sort of opposite Rose the butcher)


Or if that fails you could always try one of the local handy(wo)man

Was caused by Two large (24" x 18" x 2") paving stones being left leaning against the pipework

during garden work. Had not noticed it until I moved them a few weeks after work had ended.


Sealed it with Fernox LS-X

Still a tiny drip after a few applications.

Will see if it clears up after a couple more layers of Resin..

    • I'm not sure it's sensible  to presume any agreement from interlocutors, but if you do, then do I agree that it's the right thing to say so. My own guess -- it's nothing more -- is that the officers were acting just to effect an arrest on arrival, as requested, quite possibly without any knowledge of the content of wretched tweet at all*, and that their being armed was absolutely incidental.  But I don't know any reliable facts. I do think the turning up (5?) en masse to do so was possibly complacent and unthinking, if there was no reason to believe the arrestee was a threat.  If they had  been doing so for good reason, I guess they could have had at least one weapon trained at him, and had  him hands above head or on the ground in no time.  But I know no reliable facts of the incident whatsoever.  Perhaps they were Father Ted fans -- seriously -- and trogged along, on a quiet afternoon, to see the man himself.  Perhaps they and/or their CO will get a severe bollocking from above.  I don't know. * But even that with some reservations.  The last time I looked up cases on wrongful arrest, years ago, I think I remember there being held then to be at least some onus on the acting arresting officer to be satisfied that  the required grounds for a lawful arrest  did exist.  And I don't know any of the facts of the present case. 
    • They carry guns at the airport.  It may not make it ok but that is a fact.  In France and America they all carry guns.
    • TfL and the Met had a small team a few years ago dedicated to addressing bike theft.  https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2011/february/officers-target-bike-thieves-and-successfully-reunite-stolen-bikes-with-their-owners I assume that went with austerity. There is now a Task Force https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/metropolitan-police-service-cycle-taskforce And some advice from the MPS: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/how-safe-is-your-bike/ The marking service is good and helps.  As a cyclist you do your best to minimise the likelihood and I would never leave a high end bike locked on the street out of sight.  I've had three bikes stolen in London over the last two decades. Gum Tree sadly makes it too easy and for every bike theft there is someone knowingly or unknowingly prepared to buy a bargain that is stolen.
