Literally.
Why does the drainage system always grind to a halt on a Sunday, or a Bank Holiday?
Well yesterday was the day. 13th wasn't it?
I arrived back from church to be informed by a neighbourt that raw sewage was flowing out of the manhole cover in the pathway beside the houses, and down into the street.
Well after much consultation with both neighbours, plus poking and prodding by the men, followed by much water and sweeping, the drainage services were called, we are much known to them, and bloody good customers I might add. The answerphone informed us that they did not work on Sundays well whats new.
And so for the rest of the day we all put ourselves on water usage ration and got on with life, as best we could. They duly arrived this morning, rodded and whatever, said that tree roots from neighbouring gardens may well be hindering the old clay pipes ! causing blockages.
At least we can now all get on with life with the added bliss of no water restrictions.
Remind me will you when I next look at houses to steer clear of those not on main drainage.
