you lot complain about plumbing at Beckfoot being off topic!

Prue - surely 'petrol' is bang on-topic! It was because Rattletrap ran out of petrol that the G.A. was left on her own for a bit and decided to do some 'detective work' alone - hence the alarm at Beckfoot when she disappeared. Hence the appearance of Col. Jolys. Hence also the G.A. boarding the houseboat and 'flagging down' Scarab to get a lift back to Beckfoot. If it hadn't been for petrol (or rather lack of it), all the last chapters of PM would not have happened. Slightly more important than 'plumbing' methinks - plumbing is not mentioned in the canon, but petrol is. Fair do's!
