NATIONAL PLUMBING DAY

[Karan]: I have broken away from our raucous National Plumbing Day celebrations to wish you all a Happy National Plumbing Day. Obviously, as more or less everything we do incorporates plumbing by some definition or another, this is a HUGE day for us.

We were up early at 4.30am - as the children were so excited, they couldn't sleep - so we opened our presents together in front of a roaring radiator, drinking tap water and listening to a compilation CD I'd made of dripping taps and flushing toilets.

Now that we're all dressed and showered, our family, friends and plumbing shop assistants have all popped round for more tap water toasts and home-made soup, before we all gather round to switch the dishwasher on. Then it's off into the utility room to put all our clothes into the washing machine, where the children will be allowed to stay up late so we can watch our favourite programme as a family.

Finally, once the children are in bed, we'll take a bath, brush our teeth and flush the loo for the final time during one of the best National Plumbing Days I can ever remember - it even rained!!!
