After many years of blissful silence our plumbing has started making low moaning and whining sounds sometimes like a low flying helicopter other times like a spin dryer. The toilet, the shower, everything, with the taps on or off.

Thames Water seem to be all over Dulwich just at the moment. Have they caused it? Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?

Without hearing the noise you're describing, it's difficult to diagnose. We had water hammer in two of our homes over the years. Noisy and a little disconcerting due to the volume in some rooms. If the same ailment applies to the condition of your plumbing then the problem might worsen (eg. increased noise, leaks) so I suggest calling someone in to check soon. There might be a simple remedy. I don't think it's to do with Thames Water.

We're dealing with this too atm but it'll be specific to your house. Plumber says ours is probably a toilet seal that's gone (apparently the noise and vibrations can get through to other appliances/taps). Or you may have air in the system - not hard to fix if you can turn off the water to your house and look up a guide online

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
