RJ’s drains cause big bangs in Toti
FOUR explosions at RJ’s on Friday afternoon had residents from surrounding flat blocks scuttling into the street, thinking there was another bomb blast.
“It was just us, trying to clear a blocked drain”, said RJ’s owner, Bruce Lithgow, this week. After the restaurant drains started blocking recently, Bruce called in a plumber, who poured 100 litres of drain cleaner into the drain to clear ‘the past 20 years of gunge’. The explosions, which shook the 11-storey flat block above RJ’s resulted from the drastic cleaning measures, and a pall of smoke poured out of the third floor parking garage.
