Flippin' overflow!!!!
Much earlier today, when I first woke and went to loo I washed my hands. And it began. Instead of cold water topping up hot tank, for some reason it went to the overflow pipe. And it is not trickling, it is flaming well gushing out, all down the wall. Furthermore it is directly beside my bedroom window, so going back to sleep was not an option. It is also pouring down the wall (three floors remember) and forming a mini lake below the ground floors living room.
I telephoned HA who initially said that they would send a plumber out, NEXT MONDAY!!. So after an initial rant from me, this was changed to 'some time' this Wednesday.
BUT so far have had each neighbour (or a representative thereof) come and ring doorbell and ask if I knew that my overflow was gushing water?? Plus the postman delivering a parcel pointed it out, the nurse who visits the neighbour on the ground floor came and pointed it out, and four, yes four, passers by have buzzed the security buzzers to tell me!!! One person has even suggested that I turn off the stop cock until it is fixed. Oh yeah? and what do I do for water in the meantime??
