    so Nelly, did you sit and wait for the snapshot of that plop, or was it there by chance when you had the camera?

    I think you waited for comedy effect (worked) but I think that you've been keeping a log (Another one) of how many Plops are passing down our pipe.

    So come on, whats the magic number, whats Top of the Plops??

    ....However the nob who owned it has attached the sink and utility water to these gullys.

    So I'll have to redirect them to the manhole but that aint a problem, I've done loads of drainage work over the years.....
    Can't you run them to the soil stack? Easier and cheaper than having to dig up and re-arrange the drains.

    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    Unfortunately its not easier. There is a very weird set up in the house but it does work to make for a rather large bathroom.

    I am more and more convinced that someone has run their waste water drainage into the surface water pipework. Either that or there is some major failure of the local drainage system allowing it to mix.
    Have you checked to see if someone nearby has a "non-original" bathroom / cloakroom / en suite?
    I suppose there is always the chance that the estate was never plumbed correctly and that the fault has existed since it was built.
