Send for a plumber...

I was tickled to read a report in the paper that the "Great Drain" which takes the water from the Roman baths in Bath down to the river Avon is in need of repair - not because of any problems with the part built by the Romans, which is still doing sterling service despite being nearly 2000 years old. No, it's the modern extension, only built about 40 years ago which has collapsed. A real testament to British workmanship!
