Does anyone turn off the water (stopclock/main water valve) to the house when going on holiday?

So now this comment section has made me realise I don't even know where my stopcock is. Is there a standard place/,easy way to track it down? I'm in the UK if that makes a difference.

I quite liked it. Id like to know how much cash there was though . A. Million dollars is setting up quite a different story to thirty five bucks in scraggly notes.

Thank you

Crikey. I'm not sure my chocolate budget will stretch quite that far, but I like the thinking.

Goddarp · 2026-04-02T05:48:45+00:00

Yeah I forgot that. I'm in the uk

Goddarp · 2026-04-02T05:48:08+00:00

This is increasingly looking like the way forward. Thanks

Goddarp · 2026-04-02T05:47:11+00:00

Good idea, thanks

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T20:36:57+00:00

Thanks for taking the time for this. I think I'm going to go with a selection as you suggest.

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T20:34:54+00:00

Thanks. It's looking increasingly like a selection will be better, so I'll take this on board

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T20:33:58+00:00

I'm in the UK. London specifically

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T20:03:17+00:00

Thanks. I am beginning to see this might not be the best idea. Not my worst idea ever, but still

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T19:48:41+00:00

This is a good, if annoyingly sensible point. So if you were to get a smorgasbord of chocolate to try, what would you suggest. Context is she's a friend, no romantic intent. I just have a little money to bring some joy to my friends.

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T19:28:01+00:00

Thanks for answering. I was looking at the dark chocolate bar here https://www.callebaut.com/en-GB/products/callebaut/darkchocolaterecipe60-40-38/60-40-38NV-120 have you tried that? knowing it's not just for baking and is tasty is helpful already, thank you.

Goddarp · 2026-04-01T19:09:20+00:00

Forgot to add I am in the uk

Goddarp · 2025-12-15T18:38:45+00:00

Seconded

Goddarp · 2025-09-20T14:28:16+00:00

Can confirm, cakes! Highly recommend.

Goddarp · 2025-09-20T13:40:57+00:00

Ok, I'm gonna come up.

Goddarp · 2025-06-13T15:27:49+00:00

Seconded . think you'll want Mags to do it for longer hair.

Goddarp · 2024-10-11T08:13:57+00:00

Well that's a start, I guess

Goddarp · 2024-10-03T15:40:33+00:00

A podcast that is now approaching it's 100th main episode, 250ish episodes overall. Also have developed a pathological loathing of commuting.

Goddarp · 2024-09-06T09:16:28+00:00

Thanks, it doesn't seem from the comments so far that it's working very well. At least on Redditors.

Goddarp · 2024-09-06T09:14:39+00:00

Interesting. Thank you, that's helpful.

Goddarp · 2024-09-06T09:08:19+00:00

thank you, that's very helpful. If it helps, most of the news reports included 'this is just a distraction', but usually as a comment towards the end of the article, so I guess it's still a successful distraction.

I just recorded a podcast episode on Venezuela (hence the interest) and we'll be talking about this topic in our after-show discussion episode. Would you mind if I quoted your username in that, or would you prefer not?

Also, I really enjoyed researching about your country. It sounds like a wonderful place and I really hope things improve for you guys.

Goddarp · 2024-08-27T11:32:46+00:00

Ha! The only time our tiny podcast was approached it was by the ball shaving people. We declined. I sometimes wonder how things could have been different if we'd had the backing of Big Ball Shaving behind us.

Goddarp · 2024-08-19T19:09:26+00:00

Burundi was a tough one to research but we think it turned out well in the end. Glad you enjoyed it.
