Burst pipes have been suffered by some Brigg households during the current very cold snap. Just in case - heaven forbid - such a terrible misfortune befalls you, the following may be of use:
Anglian Water has a helpline for reporting water leaks - 0800 771 881. Or email anglianwatercustomerservices@anglianwater.co.uk
My pipework's frozen, too, Scribs....and I desperately need to go to the loo....must to take more of me Frusemide water tablets.
ReplyDeleteThe daft thing is my outside tap is working ..fed separately from the mains, but the supply to house must have an ice-plug somewhere.
I think the pipe is routed inside a garden wall that still has hard-packed snow heaped up against it.
In an emergency, I've still got me well water - 12 feer down and 5 feet deep, and a fresh-water butt, so I can still have me all-over shower in the back garden....and some bottled water.
Just remember, Nige, I'm about 80 feet higher than you..the air is more rarified and cooler temperatures. But it's pleasant living in the hill country.
It could be said that, Iceman Regrets Wees' during 'Water Emergencies' and that 'We Get Mercenaries' to do any repairs.....in the meantime, AnglianWater could claim, 'We Register Menace'.
ReplyDeleteHope very much that doesn't spoil your festivities.
ReplyDeleteMy festivities are secret, Nige.
ReplyDeleteEven I don't know wots happening!!
But I'm sure it will go crackers and involve the ideosyncratic customs of wearing funny hats, swapping strange stories of a red-cloaked man chimney climbing and male family members doing the washing-up!
Then after doing massives of cooking to feed the combined forces of the American and Russian armies, wimmen folk will complain about how much weight they've put on...
......and how about chocolate - they'll eat like it going out of fashion...and still worry about their figure - 'Oh look, I'm a size 12....I should be a size 10!' .....and it's all our fault to buying them the box!
We can't win, Scoop! It's a lose-lose situation
Has anyone any 'play-safe' suggestions for us guys?
BUT I love 'em!
