I nearly started

World War 3. I had to put the community showers out of action, the shower trays would not drain, obviously a blocked pipe. It has been like this for a couple of days, Roy and I have tried to fix it but to no avail. I called in 'dyno rod' and they couldn't sort the problem out for me. I then called in the pool company, they dug a hole, looked at the pipe, and decided they couldn't fix it, i then went to the company that built the community to see if they had the plans so we could ascertain the direction where the water pipes went, they had destroyed the plans!! They did give me the phone number of a Spanish company, so I phoned them, they came out today, cut a chunk out of the pipe and high pressure blasted some water down the pipe, they seem to have solved the problem, it cost 170 euros, let us wait and see.

The Germans are paranoid about showering before and after they go in the pool, it was quite entertaining watching them walk up, read the notice, scratch their heads, then reluctantly get in the pool without the obligatory shower.
