Presumably I should cap it, but as you can see from this photo it's
not a neat end:

The outside diameter is about 7cm.
There are flexible rubber caps for sale, e.g.

but I doubt it could be attached securely. Would a piece of some
kind
of flexible rubber sheet and a jubilee clip do the trick?
Reasonable quality plastic bag and a cable tie would do it just as
well.
Nope, plastic bags dont last long.
One does try. I often put my pennorth in, but you can guarantee a few
IQ zeros will pop up with something implausable anyway.
One would have to have led a very sheltered life to suggest the
plastic bag approach. I do wonder what peoples motives are when they
provide such "advice".

I said reasonable quality, something like is used for for storing food
in
a
freezer not the wrapper from a loaf of Mother Pride. In the position
behind the bath away from UV light it will last decades.
Bull****. I found some of those that had got down the back
of a drawer and was surprised to find that they break up
into lots of very small pieces of plastic at the merest touch.
reams of your **** any 2 year old could leave for dead flushed where it
belongs
Whoops, nothing left. Wota surprise.
