Plumbing question
I am particularly fond of long deep bubble-baths with an undemanding book.
Sadly, for the last few weeks I have been thwarted because my bath-plug has developed a hole. I bought a replacement thing purporting to be a bath plug from John Lewis, but it is of not quite the right shape and hence readily dislodged by currents of water, a defect essentially fatal to a bath plug.
What I can't see is how you replace a bath-plug-on-a-chain: the chain seems attached irrevocably to a triangular thing which is attached very firmly to the side of the bath. I guess the triangular thing would come apart if attacked vigorously with pliers of sufficient force, but am not confident enough that this is reversible to try it.
I suppose I pay the price of a return flight to Peru monthly so that I can ring the landlord and cause Tucker Gardner's pet plumber to be scheduled to solve the problem.

Failing everything, if your plughole is a totally non-standard size, you can always buy a block of cork and whittle it to the right shape.
