That is a great joke, and worth the wait :-)Hope your plumber will be as well ;-)
I hope so too habs - it has been running ok for three or four years, now it acting up probably needs a part or something. My television has been acting up for a couple of weeks - it is trying to tell me something.
I had a drop of port which I brought back from Portugal to help me cope with the problems, so everything is under control.
