The plumber told me it wasn’t an issue with the sink: but more than probably with the drains, and that he would put in for a drain cleaning.

I don’t know.

All I can tell you is that, last night, my sink was giving the Radiophonic Workshop a run for the money …

*        You could be right, there, Anne.   You watch, we’ll end up parading up the High Street dressed as Sansa Stark.   Mind you, I don’t think I’ve got the legs …
