I've found that lidl's thick bleach eats through gung. I pour it down bath plughole at night and then pour in hot water in the morning. It's cheaper than proper drain unblocker.

    Had to look up GUNG very informative. Health and Beauty, not so.

    The word gung is a valid scrabble word

    1 short excerpt of WikWik.org 

    • gung  n. (obsolete) Alternative form of gong: an outhouse.
    The world is not ruined by the wickedness of the wicked, but by the weakness of the good. Napoleon

    You posted a rather handy DIY tip in the Health and Beauty section.
    What's the weather like on your planet? :)

    Sorry, the irony failed. I expect you will be back in a couple of days to offer some more abuse. All that was said, originally, was that the post would have been more suited  to another thread which, frankly, I would have thought hard to argue with, but may be not!😛
