Bathroom Fittings...........The Revenge

Well it seems I crowed too soon about the successful cystern replacement.
After my plumbing hero had finished it on Sunday, and it was all apparently ticketty boo, it wasn't.
The stupid thing would only flush about a teaspoon of water.
I mentioned this in passing, and was told it was some "water saving device" which came with all the gubbins.
I made it perfectly clear that it "would not do". He told me that to have it flush properly you had to hold the handle down for longer.
He lied.
I held the poxy handle down for an age and all it did was trickle water.
He gave in and said he would remove the offending water saving device the following day.

Yesterday he removed it.
Did it work?
Did it buggery.
I had a suspicion all was not going well by the amount of cursing, swearing and general banging about that emanated from the direction of the bathroom.
Eventually it all went quiet.
This meant one of two things :-

1, He had fixed it.
2, It had killed and eaten him.........in which case the evidence would remain as the stupid thing couldn't flush anything anyway.

He said it was fixed.
He lied.

Now, although the toilet appears to flush reasonably well, the bowl doesn't refill with water properly.
So, there only a little drop in the bottom.
He says he thinks he knows what is wrong............the discomknockulater valve isn't working properly and he can fix it.
We shall see..................
Certainly makes for interesting reading though. I may write a book.
