`Country` wisdom
« on: September 12, 2007, 17:23:29 »
Don`t knock it :).

I had a blocked drain earlier(flood in the garage). Opened the outside garage door and my neighbours noticed the water and asked if I needed a hand.

Well the normal tricks didn`t work so I went off in search of something to rod the drain with-a couple of minutes later I heard Sue(my neighbour,calling me to say it was fixed.

Her Gran always swore by a holly branch so they had cut one and Dick(her husband) had cleared the blockage.

One learns something new every day!
