Cruel and unusual punishment is a phrase in common law describing punishment that is considered unacceptable due to the suffering, pain, or humiliation it inflicts on the person subjected to the sanction. The precise definition varies by jurisdiction, but typically includes punishments that are arbitrary, unnecessary, overly severe compared to the crime, or not generally accepted in society.

    Unusual Washing Machine Waste Drain

    Hi All, I'm plumbing in a washing machine into our new house and rather than a normal waste pipe this house just has a hole in the ground. It looks as if the hole used to be a 40mm pipe but it has been sawn off at ground level such that the top of the pipe is flush with the floor tiles. This...

    Unusual condensation in boiler

    I have a boiler (Potterton Promax 15SL) and after it has been heating the house for a while, when it turns off, warm air gently comes out of the fan unit (which is now off) and the air hits the metal housing of the boiler and condenses, causing it to pool in the bottom of the boiler and...

    How to change cartridge on unusual mixer tap without removable cap

    Any idea how to get into the cartridge on this tap. I can remove the spout and also unscrew the sleeve on both hot and cold. No idea if there is a cap for the levers to remove. Thought for a while that it was an anti clockwise unscrew, but that doesn't work either :-(
