    You will need the opinion of a Mongolian turd expert now, just to put your mind at rest.

    Knowing these forums one be along soon.;)

    I've been to Mongolia.

    On the whole, they don't have loos. It's a "trowel and find your own" deal (-:

    Those little pipes don't look wide enough to carry even rain water from 100+ houses, are you sure that that outlet serves all those houses? I would have thought that your immediate neighbours also have similar outlets. Would this make it easier to track the culprit.

    Thanks for the explaination of the drainage systems, I now appreciate why our guttering leads into the kitchen waste pipe. (At least I hope its all going down the sewage system rather than the kitchen waste joining the rainwater drains).

    Incidentally, my culvert has been completely dry since we moved in, I think some neighbour has blocked it upstream or it is draining out through another neighbours pool (read glorified pond) drainage.

  • Just wanted to say 'thank you' all for giving me such a giggle! I was really down in the turds (sorry dumps) today but this has made my day happier!

    Seriously I do hope you get it sorted, I'll be reading with great interest, and I really hope it isn't yours!

    best wishes

    i once had a blocked drain which i believed was solely for my own use and being a new FTB, had no money, so decided to have a go at unblocking it myself - being up to my shoulder in the brown stuff, i found myself dragging out toilet tissue which was not a colour i ever used .....:eek:_pale_ aaarrrgghhhhhh !!!!!!!!!

    :eek: What have you done Nelly!:eek:

    From the front page of Ardyn Erh

    The Peoples republic of Mongolia today have declared war on the nation of United kingdom over malicious and unsubstantiated allegations relating to our great nations new public toilet network.

    The United Kingdom's leader "Nelly" has insinuated that we have connected our public toilets to his pipe work and are now emptying our doo doo's into his river.

    This blatant slander cannot be allowed to stand and we have dispatched 2 divisions of our elite yak mounted Mongolian hordes from their base in Ulaanbaatar to seek revenge and restore our honour.

    There is a better than disstinct possibility that if they hold me resposible i will do 'F all' about it!

    I dont 'do' being held resposible for something I didnt do.

    I understand what you are getting at though, and knowing this country if they cant fint the real perpetrator they will try and go for me but that wont help them cos I wont do anything and if they do the work and 'bill' me I wont pay it...I dont 'do' being bullied of over officious morons with non jobs.

    Like I say this could get real interesting :)

    I've only read upto post 7 so far and I like you already :D

    I'm going back to read the rest now .....
