Does it?


Firstly the trip arm is not that accessible,


Accesible enough.

secondly the force required would result in some broken toes,


Utter nonsense. Your obvious exaggeration makes it clear that your
opinions are not worth bothering with.

Have you ever actually tripped a tripcock? Stupid question really -
obviously not!


Well, at least now you've got somethingright - you are quite correct
that it is a stupid question, because it is totally irrelevant to the
issue at hand. A typical arsehole's wriggle, in fact.


You know not with whom you argue "Chippy"...

The tripcock arm is on the 6 foot side so accessibility is restricted to the
sucidally insane unless a block can be arranged with the signaller.

To reset the tripcock manually requires more than a little brute strength.
If possible a brick, large chunk of ballast or piece of wood is needed to
perform this function.

In fact, it is your opinions that are worthless. And as a grammatical tip,
never use a preposition to end a sentence with.
