Yeah, he's gone now. Oddly, it wasn't a tow truck that came, but his wife came with a chain to tow the truck out herself.

Here in this town, we are nothing if not professional.

Sounds like an independent contractor. Lot of delivery companies use those and don't admit it.

It is in fact no longer in the driveway, so yay there.

Maybe. I dunno, I didn't think about that possibility.

Regardless of the argument of boiling bleach, it's been sorted.

Guy came, took the plug apart and used the shower to basically force all the hair down the pipe.

So, basically making it much harder to remove it, should it get stuck somewhere further along the line, then?

Two cycles is Wildlings.  Pray you never hear three cycles.

Could have been a test. Also could have been a firehouse alarm. I know several firehouses around here sound off what sounds like an air raid siren.

There are tornado sirens around where I live that get tested every so often (one at noon on a Saturday, which I take as announcing when I get to go home for the weekend) might've been something like that.

Over here in the Netherlands, our air raid sirens are tested every first monday of the month, at 12:00.
Ofcourse, since that's been a thing for at least 39 years (all my life), every nation in the world knows that if you want to bomb the Netherlands, to do that on the first monday of the month, at noon. No one will believe the air raid siren is for real.

Ofcourse, even if people were to believe the siren is for real, it would still be useless, since we don't have any bomb shelters.

Also even if you didn't attack at that particular time, people would either be like "oh, it's siren time. guess that means it's monday." or like "oh, sounds like they rung it at the wrong time".

...why is that system still being maintained?  Like, when was the last time it was actually needed?

Even if it is specifically an attack alarm instead of the general DISASTER IS COMING! warning system we use in the US, the Netherlands would be a primary target if the tensions between Russia and NATO ever went hot.
