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

Looks like that needs topping up to return it to its former glory.

I had 'all you can eat' Chinese yesterday and could probably help.

Let me know if you are interested.

Students these days. Completely irresponsible. Don't know what the world's coming to....

I DID THIS!! IT WORKED A TREAT

THANK YOU!!!!!!

I went to Woolworths, paid =A36 or a vileda mop.

Shoved it down the hole, hit the flush button

Then I anticipated the worst - the water overflowing and flooding my floor with s***ty water

But instead, when i lifted the broomstick the blockage had gone!!!

I flushed it again, got a massive can of dettol and sprayed it everywhere

just been to supermarket ... got Parazone bleach and a three more cans of dettol. I am going to spray my entire bathroom

So dave - THANKS!

If you'd got it at Argos you could have taken it back within 16 days :-)

Be careful mixing bleach and other cleaning agents. Chlorine fumes can be emitted (and I think dettol is Phenol based, which isn't very nice either).

You do realise the agent is going to be very suspicious at the next inspection - a student with a very clean bathroom - they'll be wondering what you've been doing in there.

How're things with the girlfriend now?

Or a holiday job as a lavatory attendant.

I had every confidence with it.

Prolly a loo roll down the loo.

Loo paper is designed to dissolve in water. I don't know how quick, but... how long have you got to wait?

For a minute there, I thought you had written bedroom :-)

Sorry, I'll grow up a bit :-)

haha uk.diy aren't supposed to read uk.telecom... what are the odds?

SWMBO might *just* look after the baby in the main. But the dog you'll have to clear up after if you don't want lynched on the common...

It's a time-honoured usenet tradition to make clandestine raids on other groups ... it's been a while since we had a nice holiday over in uk.rec.motorcycles, and it's special fun when we invade some of the American groups and criticise their wirenuts.

It has a long ond honoured tradition;

How nice to hear that advice on here actually worked and saved somebody sixty quid.

Those who read other newsgroups may observe the OP wants to flit this Green and Pleasant Land...

The message from Helen Deborah Vecht contains these words:

To somewhere where drains clear themselves?

We are always watching though, our spies are everywhere .. ;)

Long drops only fill up, they don't block.
