| 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. |

| 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 Digby |

| 592621 | 2007-09-20 01:28:00 | What the heck is wrong with trying a wire coathanger?? I agree, but make sure you take it out before using the loo again... you might snag something :horrified |
