So she didn't notice a leak of 3,000 litres/day. She deserves all
she gets. Either that, or it's the usual media ****e.


3000 litres/day == 125l/h == 2 litres/minute. A fair flow, but running
evenly down a WC bowl could be missed by someone of the in quick, do
business, out quick school.


But for 6 months! At 2L per minute you'd have thought the flow noises in
the pipework/ballcock/torbeck valve would have alerted someone.
