A plumber who was rock-shore he'd unblocked my sink a few weeks ago was from
Lithuania. Is that any good? It bunged itself up again shortly afterwards
and the estate manager unbunged it with a bottle of that acid stuff.

Could have saved the estate around £80 if he'd done that in the first place,
but he wouldn't have got his back-hander then!
