One of our downpipes has been blocked and subsequently overflowing and causing damp on the wall. I took it apart yesterday and there was a big stone in it causing the blockage, which I was able to get out. All unblocked now, all good. BUT, how the fuck did a big stone get in there in the first place? I know this is going to annoy me for a long time and it’s sullying the warm sense of achievement I got from fixing it in all honesty.

Some chooch threw it on your roof and over time the water washed it into the pipe.

You haven't gotten on the wrong side of a crow lately (or ever), have you? They don't forget....
