" Only took one trip to Bunnings for some extra copper pipe "

Yeah ,but they rolled out plastic pipe with screw tight fittings, some 40 years ago ,if I'm not mistaken.
No need for copper pipe welding ( sic both gas and proper plumbing ).

They also changed the color coding on the wiring, as more and more young males became colour blind.

yes plumbers along with electricians and doctors are the last bastions of entitlement.
