That takes me back
First night staying at my very wealthy pal's place just off Central Park and I had the same problem.

The terror that in about two seconds you will flood a luxury apartment with shit and water and there's nothing you can do about it cannot be underestimated.

I had the top off and yanked up the ballcock to stop it filling - sweating with fear - and finally managed to clear it.

Christ that was horrible, and now I'm re-living it as it was yesterday...
