blocked toilet! Andrex wet wipes - the culprit! How to unblock?
Guy King typed
The message from Stuart Noble contains these words: I think we're probably all pussies until we have children. You spend the first 4 years doing little else but cleaning up **** Four years? Gawd, our youngest worked out what to do at 2y2m and never got it wrong after that. Yebbut some find their nappies are too comforting/comfortable. By the time they're four, they're like old codgers & rather set in their ways. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

If you'd got it at Argos you could have taken it back within 16 days :-) just been to supermarket ... got Parazone bleach and a three more cans of dettol. I am going to spray my entire bathroom Be careful mixing bleach and other cleaning agents. Chlorine fumes can be emitted (and I think dettol is Phenol based, which isn't very nice either). You do realise the agent is going to be very suspicious at the next inspection - a student with a very clean bathroom - they'll be wondering what you've been doing in there. How're things with the girlfriend now? Owain haha uk.diy aren't supposed to read uk.telecom... what are the odds? |

For a totally DISGUSTING picture of the problem, click he (WARNING: PICTURE OF DISGUSTING TOILET. DO NOT VIEW!) http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...n/DSC00424.jpg http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...n/DSC00425.jpg Get your hands on a wooden handle mop with a large head and a mop bucket. Note, do not use the tiny domestic mop heads. When the water level is low, use the mop as a plunger a few times. Flush and try again if the toilet does not empty. Repeat ad infinitum. I have used this method at the local primary school with 100 percent success. Good luck Dave I DID THIS!! IT WORKED A TREAT THANK YOU!!!!!! I went to Woolworths, paid £6 or a vileda mop. Shoved it down the hole, hit the flush button Then I anticipated the worst - the water overflowing and flooding my floor with ****ty water But instead, when i lifted the broomstick the blockage had gone!!! I flushed it again, got a massive can of dettol and sprayed it everywhere just been to supermarket ... got Parazone bleach and a three more cans of dettol. I am going to spray my entire bathroom So dave - THANKS! How nice to hear that advice on here actually worked and saved somebody sixty quid. |
