Well the day is not over yet, so there is still scope, but I am hoping
that the early mornings realisation that the drain was blocked and SWMBO
expected me to go fix it will probably take some beating for fun
Christmas tasks! (24 drain rods later, (and I will spare any further
description), and I just had my second shower of the day)



My parent's previous house was an end of terrace (of three). The sum of
all the drains passsed (pun intended) through their property. You
could, almost, set your calendar by the regularity with which the
penultimate chamber blocked on Christmas Eve. The other two properties
used to put sanitary products down a drainge system that was built way
before such items were invented. The neighbours never ever offered to
help despite the blocking items being demonstrably from them. He did
threaten to block the drain upstream of his property to no avail.

Happy Memories!
