Got it capped. So not *currently* gushing. Thank God we were here to do something… Plumbers not coming till Wed or Thu at the earliest. Sigh. Merry Christmas! 🥶

@pizzohistorian I think my dad used to leave certain taps running a little back in the day to prevent freezing. This was in a big, old, imperfectly insulated house with ancient plumbing in the 1970s, and my memory might be faulty. No idea if that is actually a thing people do.

@markstoneman @pizzohistorian It’s a thing people like me still do. So sorry to hear about the burst pipe @pizzohistorian!
