592612 2007-09-19 07:48:00 Hi Guys

I seem to have got one of those toilet duck holder thingies stuck down my toilet.

I have tried to reach it by hand (yuk) but cannot.

I do not know whether I should try to push it down all the way, or to try to pull it back ?

Any suggestions and what tools could I use (please don't say coat hanger) as I am convinced that that would not make it round the bend so to speak.

Name and Address with held.

If it's unreachable by hand, either call a plumber or push it down. But then again, your toilet, not mine.

Often he refuses.

592617 2007-09-19 20:28:00 I would personally do a mighty big poo in there, give it a good couple of flushes, and see what happens! Either your monster cable will push it all down, saving the day, or, you just might need to call the plumber.. :) Damz (10942)

592619 2007-09-19 22:38:00 Thanks Guys

I think its off to Mitre 10 (or get Damz round to help me out)

Its certainly the last time I will be buying one of those toilet duck things, I'll go back to a spray can or a cistern thingey.

Regards

I agree, but make sure you take it out before using the loo again... you might snag something :horrified
