Plumbing woe

Woe!

Hello hottest day of the year. Me and Dave the Plumber have spent the past two hours fighing the drain outside my front door, which is blocked up and sending black, icky smelly water into my house. Lovely. Apparently the drain is seven feet deep and so blocked it might need a water jet machine.

I asked Dave how it was going and he said, 'Okay. It's still only Wednesday, innit?' Oh, how we laughed.
