Following the recent post on Moscow's hot water issues Ben has been informed by a Russian friend that the theory about Muscovite plumbers going away on holiday is incorrect. Rather, it is thought that the turning off of the hot water is a way of 'bringing people together', in that old friends will suddenly appear and your neighbours will unexpectedly become less hostile towards you for approximately a two-week period. Ben apologizes for any international language mishaps.
