Default outside stop cock doesn't stop water when turned.

Thanks Joe, your idea sounded promising so have given it a go, but I'm
afraid still no change.


I once looked into my stop tap hole and could only see mud. I poked about
and couldn't find anything - called the water board and they came out -
cleaned the mud tested the tap and sent me a £10 (I think) rebate off my
bill because they were later than they said.
