Hi,
just joined the group. Hope I will have some time to build this great

Hmm, good question. An American asked me recently what a "jubilee
clip" was
- that was a struggle.

A tap washer is a thin shim of rubber/nylon/fibre that fits inside a
water
tap (faucet?) - like in the bathroom - so that when the water valve is
closed there are no leaks.
Until 10 minutes ago I never knew about "jubilee clips". Then I
remembered our good friend Google has a good engine for searching
images:

Jubilee clip:


Tap washer:


Google images might help for other visual searches as well.
Thanks for the explaination Mark, and sorry for the off-topic,
Paolo
