18th November. Sunday Afternoon Highlight.

Recent inspection of a flat which is rather stuck on the letting market revealed an unsightly black goo where the tiles meet the bath, this may have been putting off prospective tenants. I surmised the failure of some Wickes product, possibly a chemical reaction with the previous occupier's hair care preparation, (I wonder about their scalp).

Pulling off the bath trim left the offensive sealing gunge behind which had the consistency of crude oil such as is found periodically on the beaches close to Milford Haven.

Trying to scrape this stuff off or dissolve it seemed as futile and hopeless as attempts to clean an oiled Guillemot in a vat of detergent.

Black? Gungy? Possibly smelly? Maybe I have been watching too much CSI but is blood a possibility?
