Get your hand down there and round the u bend

Why do people assume the blockage is just around the bend - it could be
yards away.

'cause in most cases that is where the blockage is...

I find that a 3/4 of a bucket of water poured moderately quickly (5s for
the the pour) from 2 to 3' above the pan and aimed at the hole rather
than the sides will shift most things.

Obviously with the pan that full already this might not be wise, so a
plunge is required first either with your hand or even a standard bog
brush shufted up and down a few times might get things loosened enough
for the water level to drop.

Why are people so squeamish about their body products? Bung on a pair of
Marigolds and get stuck in...
