As in the Replacement Bus Service? 😂

The Accordion plunger has substantially changed my plunging for the better. If you hold it right you can easily use it for baths and sinks for a superior plunge.

Would this vary according to how close you are to the equator?
Someone might know, but not me 😏

Imagine it does because I’ve often noticed how quickly it gets dark when travelling in countries further south.
Edit found this.
There are several factors that alter the accuracy of this including latitude and time of year. The farther you are from the equator, the less direct the sun travels from its position in the sky towards the horizon, especially in non-summer months. In summer months it follows a nearly vertical line from the sky to the horizon as it sets, making the last few hours of “finger reading” very accurate. Whereas in the winter, it angles more towards the horizon, so you’ll have to line your fingers up along an estimated angled path vs. a straight up and down path. But if you forget that part, you’ll actually be underestimating the amount of daylight left, so you’ll be erring on the side of caution anyways.

I have heard that near the equator the sun sets very quickly - up by the poles it is very slow
which makes sense becuase it had further to go at the equator
whether or not this is correct is another matter
And possibly the length of your arms? 🤔

I’d imagine these would be in proportion to your height, and so cancel out?
Hmmmmm.... Maybe 😊

My quick research is that the sun travels through the sky at a constant speed irrespective of season or latitude. However the time for sunset varies as to both above as the path takes is more or less angled to the perpendicular. Eg at the equate the sun drops directly down further away is goes the same speed but at an angle do takes longer to reach the horizon.

That's what I thought - just didn;t have the interest to find out properly!!!
