Subject: Airbourne air admittance valve
Called into a local office block last week to sort out a toilet cistern not
filling, they also mentioned that it ponged in the toilet - and it did.

Ground floor toilet, cistern boxed in with those large panels.  Removed
panel, repair was easy, ball valve full of scale wasn't letting much water
in.

Cause of the smell was immediately apparent.  Soil pipe had a upright
section some 4' high, which had a push fit air admittance valve fitted -

Or rather it didn't.  Found that around 6' away on the opposite side to the
cistern.  It clearly hadn't fallen off, but been forced out by what must
have been considerable pressure for it to have landed where it did.

Easy enough to fix, but I wonder what caused it to be blown out so
violently?  Any ideas?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman"
<davidl...@nospamblueyonder.co.uk> saying something like:

Explosive curry gas.

To blow it that far the ex must have been seriously gruntled!

I love that PG Wodehouse line;

"He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if
not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled."
