blocked toilet! Andrex wet wipes - the culprit! How to unblock?

Probably more so in a shiny new crapper because they have such pathetically low water flow rates.

It might also crack the china, in which case you will compound the embarrassment by losing your deposit with your landlord and, if you're in an upper floor flat, having to make profuse apologies to the downstairs neighbours for what is seeping through the ceiling.

It wouldn't have been half as bad 24 hours ago, but now it's been festering ...

That will make the s**t set like concrete :) You are soon going to need a SDS drill with a rotary stop option, and a chisel attachment.

[Andy Hall]

Well exactly, and it would take a lot to put a hand in a bin liner and clear Bill Gates' U-bend.

[Andy Hall]

It may help but one has to say that you are being a bit of a pussy about this...

[Steve Walker]

Anyone know what's best to clean coffee off a TFT monitor......? :o)

[Steve Walker]

ROFL!

I'll pay you £60 to post a picture with your hands down the toilet

You don't even have to do anything else - just use the cash to pay a professional.

I'll pay £120 if you put your head down and I will pay £250 if you...

[Andy Hall]

Get yer chequebook out. Actually, no.... cash....

I've been doing a cloakroom remodelling in the past two weeks.

This involved removing the old bog, complete with crap et al. inside the plastic connecting adaptor.

I've never come across such a bunch of girl's blouses in my life....

I wandered into work last week to find a notice on one of the two traps saying "out of order". When I checked it was all but rim high with water plus other bits (ughy brown bits and paper) although it had been like this for an hour or so no one had offered to clear it. "No plunger" "don't know how" " not my job" etc. half these guys own houses, what the heck do they do at home if a loo blocks??? Any way they were right there was no plunger but there was an ample supply of bubble rap!!! Two or three times around my hand and a bit up the arm makes a great plunger. No photos unfortunately.

I just don't like poo. I am sure I am not alone.

I will go sky diving, but I will not touch poo. No thanks.

I am a poor student, please can you donate 50p to me via PayPal so I can get it unblocked?

[The Medway Handyman]

With a bit of luck they call me! I charge exta to clear toilets!

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Never think of getting a dog, then.

[The Natural Philosopher]

And all you need is soap and water and a towel...

[Owain]

You'd charge a lot extra to clear this guy's. By my reckoning this is now the *third* day it's been festering.

Owain

[Owain]

No.

I can send you a pair of long black rubber gauntlets with only a small hole in one thumb.

Have you ever watched Trainspotting?

The only culture some people have;-)

To the OP: if you really go in for skydiving, give up a session or two and use the money saved to employ one of us (where are you?). It really is a trivial jobbie [pun intended].

Non flushable bog roll is for use in Greece/Turkey where 2 inch main sewers are normal, handy because if the bog roll has run out you can root through the used bits for a clean(ish) area.

60 years ago the UK had proper toilets that flushed monster turds away with gallons of water in the blink of an eye, go to the piss poor Euro imports that we are saddled with today, add in products that swell when exposed to water, sometimes from a household with an excess of females and blockage is considered normal.
