It's raining!

Well, of course it is. It's October and that's what the weather does lately - rain. This rain, however, is slightly different because it's not in the usual place (outside) but is instead happening in lab 3.

We are on the ground floor of the science block, and directly above us is the chemistry department. They seem to have issues with the sink traps in one of their labs which become dislodged when the kids kick or rest their feet on them. If no one notices that the trap has become dislodged then every time water (or anything else) is poured down the sink it comes through the ceiling into the lab below.

3 times so far this term we've had this problem and it's getting beyond a joke. It's not so bad when it's just water. The clearing up is a nuisance, but not major. What worries me is that sooner or later it won't just be water and someone could get chemicals in their eyes. Alternatively the ceiling might collapse. Either way, not good.

We keep reporting the issue, but I'm not holding my breath that anything will happen.
