there's a intergalactical wormhole in my extractor

Seriously. I'm at work tonight doing the front entrance, steam cleaning all the matts. And for the first few minutes, I'm pumping out a few litres of water as steam, and sucking it all back in. And nothing's going into my extractor. All that water can't be sitting in my pipes.

There's some poor unhappy sod somewhere out there in the multiverse, who all of a sudden gets dumped the rancid waste-water containing the dirt of thousands of people's feet all over his head.

Poor chap.

Incidentally, I now live in St Kilda, am the proud owner of one tenth of a lens hood for my BMF lens, and have graduated. But that's just inner-page matter.
