Our house has a toilet which becomes blocked for no apparent reason. Is this an intermittent known problem in the Pueblo or do we need to contact a plumber? If so. does anyone have a contact for a suitable tradesman?

May I suggest increasing your intake of fibre.

This problem has now been solved.

The pipework in some of the older parts of the town is ancient, but ours is quite new. Our house has an inspection hatch which was clear and when the plumber used his flexible cable he dislodged a large lump of paint which had caused the blockage! 

We had some paintwork done recently and were not there with the workers but who would have thought they would pour paint into a toilet?

We had similar, except it was a big bock of concrete!
