This is quite possibly the worst thread I have ever started, but I did warn you lot earlier in the week that it's a slow week for me, and it's just getting slower.

I work in the Regus serviced office on the corner of Northumberland Avenue, overlooking Trafalgar Square. On Monday, trap 1 of the men's toilets on the 2nd floor was rendered out of action because it's not the sort of toilet that can take a pound of mashed up dundee cake (not my words, the words of Alan Partridge). It's Thursday and trap 1 is till out of action, and no one seems to be in any hurry to address it.

I apologise in advance for the vulgarity of the thread, the fact that some of you are still working and haven't got the time to think up and post some of the nonsense I just did......

    Go to the poundshop pick up one of their fetching long handled plungers and deal with the dead otter yourself. Or fill a cleaners bucket with water and sluice that down there assuming the water level is not at brimming

    Well the door is still wide open, so every time I go in there it is fully on view. Will it still be there in the new year I wonder.

    Hi @cabbles, I'm having a similarly dull week at work, so thank you for helping me to pass the time by sharing the details of your turd-related trauma.

    This - https://twitter.com/regus_uk - is Regus' Twitter page. Surely the most sensible thing to do is to send them a picture of the offending log cabin and ask them to pop over and clean it up.

    Brave it out. Get an empty 2 litre coke bottle, cut the rounded bottom end off, roll your sleeves up and use the bottle as a plunger (keep the lid on, schoolboy error...).

    I suggest that you may want to eat your sandwiches before operation "French Toilet" though!

    One of our offices is in a multi tenant building serviced by Regus... they're crap.

    I'm in Florida. The sign above the bog in the rental house suggests that US waste pipes are less wide than the UK's. It seems I mustn't use more than eight sheets of paper or else I risk paying to get a blockage cleared. Bloody third world country.

    So it was your "thread" that caused the damage in the first place?

    'Trap 1' out of how many traps? Perhaps 1no trap being out of action, may not be high up in the priority list if other tennants have real issues?

    Just a thought

    Ha! Quality. A yuletide log on behalf of Regus. I'm surprised this thread is still open after almost 4 hours............

    I'm shocked at the lack of real input from Carter here.
