I once rubbed my main pipe too hard and it shot out at a heluva speed and soaked the cooker.

Had kleenex handy so mopped it up quicklike.

A man's got to protect himself!

Incidentally, Alison was parked up in a car park the other day and noticed a sign with "Wet Riser" written on it. She has also observed signs with "Dry Riser" too...


We're both at a loss as to what these signs mean...

Any ideas?

These are. Signs for doggers when using the car park at night .

It tells you if a certain MEMBER has prepared properly pre entry .

Hope this helps .
