Random Question Time

Do any of you :A know of an mse way do unclog a bath plughole - it's running slow rather than blocked and I know you can buy those liquids that dissolve hair (which is what I'm assuming it is) but they are a bit expensive ... does bleach work the same? Or any 'old wives tales' that work?

TIA Paula

I googled the very same thing yesterday.
White vinegar and bicarb was suggested many times over.
We have a constant problem with a slow draining bath though and after all these years I've realised out bath drain pipe runs ever so slightly up hill before it leaves the bathroom

Best way is the old fashioned plunger. Don't forget to cover the overflow though :rotfl::rotfl:

this reminds me, I spotted daisy WUL in a metro store for 30 odd pence the other day. Didnt buy it as it was near work and I couldnt carry it on the train. I suppose I could bring it home in batches. lol

Yup 34p and in the expresses I got 10 of them last night

Sally, don't bin them, take them back and they will give you the full amount back, so if you bought them cheap your quids in! They shouldn't even query it and you can take it back to any store that sells it without receipt....so check which store is selling at a higher price

I think we are all familiar with the sayings like "a few slates missing" or "a screw loose" to describe someone strange or stupid.

More modern versions on this theme have been things like " a sandwich short of a picnic"

What about " a flump short of an APG" to describe some of the strange posters we get here?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I it!

All fur coat and no knickers. Meaning acts like they've got money but in reality they have nothing.

An MSE saying would be "a champagne lifestyle on lemonade money" (smart price lemonade that is a filler) :rotfl:

You can do t with a plunger or you can get those drain snake things which will do it

Half a tennis ball works as a plunger if you don't have one (assuming of course that you have a spare tennis ball)
