had to stop as i was knackered-previous problem there was the sewer blocked up and filled the basement with ****ty water- 3 lads were there 5 days continuous with vac lorrys-manager didnt want to close off the shopfloor!-typical

Strange that, have heard of other sewer/drainage problems in Manchester city centre, getting sh#tty water coming up through gravity drains etc

[install monkey]

was it round piccadilly gardens??- manchester sewers were the old cobbled streets- when it was rebuilt ontop of the original street level-when it rains heavy it does back up-had a bookies near afflecks palace back up too 2 yr ago
notice how im not name dropping haha

yes it was!!!!!!!!!.......we had dyno-rod out I believe....... 2 engineers refused to attend because of the smell........... another ended up on the sick with stomach cramps and vomiting.........scary:eek:

at least you subbed it out- weve got our own drain muppets- if youve done most of the curry/kebab houses on the curry mile then you get immune to it- apparently:D

now I know your lying.... these were Superman undies, not Spiderman lol........ the pigeon thing doesnt surprise me...... rats are another one, once worked at a KFC, the rat I saw near the condenser was the size of a bloody dog........ I froze.. needless to say it put me off KFC for a long time........... how did we get on this subject from the original post lol????????:D

[jdunc2301]

I'm told it will be 120 for the week and then 4 hrs minimum at applicable rate!

Not too bothered! my basic is going up alot do not to worry!

I found couple of dead rats in some ducting! After 5 calls for a bad smell....lush!

I.M. I see you take your 50 pound/week(on call) seriously...Forget "PI..22/7 or 3.14", and round it out to 7.14.
Close enough!..;) :p..
