One of the oddest international 'sports' I've come across:

"For those not familiar with the water industry's in-house 'sport' it is essentially high-speed plumbing and sees teams of two compete to connect a service pipe from the mains to household tap via a metering box in the fastest possible time."

No one has yet broken the magical 2 minute barrier...

The list of rules and regulations is quite strict, with, for example, a penalty for not using a 'Talbot Spanner' or problems with your 'Bib tap alignment' source
