How do you ( and me ) catch all these things, is it because we are sensitive to some bugs or just unlucky. I worked in Egypt for two years and had breakfast 3 or 4 times a week in a quite unsavory cafe, but served the best egg sandwich, that when we arrived he cleaned our glasses with his cloth, followed by the ash tray, the chairs we were to sit on and the frying pan and finally one day killed a cockroach crawling up the wall with a flick of, you've guessed it, the same cloth, never had a bad stomach in the whole time I was there.
I went back to Aberdeen and within the first 5 days back the last 3 were spent on the throne.

I may have found the answer at last, to my now very sensitive tummy ....
2 days ago my good lady exclaimed that the water coming out of our kitchen tap was blue!!
Yeah yeah I thought but to my amazement she was not only spot on but it was darker than I had imagined. Now just by coincidence or now not, we bought a "blue loo toilet block" and duly dumped in said cistern and after some investigation by a good friend who just happens to be a brilliant plumber, we have found that the plumbing between the toilet cistern and kitchen tap water is combined somehow. We have now rectified this with a gated valve but it does make wonder if all my troubles stem from this ??
I suppose i really should only worry when my pee is blue too !! http://britishexpats.com/forum/image...ilies/rofl.gif
