Usually alone in this house, I am aware of plumbing problems which cause all the pipes to moan and rattle alarmingly when any water related device is activated. Having the washer (new one not any longer gay) on whilst flushing a toilet produces nearly apocalyptic sounds

Listening to cat Mum and Dad use the bathroom this morning involved a symphony of gurgling and pipe banging.

I suggested that the late Delia Derbyshire could have made a fantastic horror film soundtrack out of their morning ablutions

I further suggested that if steam train journeys were involved their fantastically complex coffee machine could be wheeled on
