"You may not edit your posts" - umm, why not? Not very user friendly, is
it?

Anyway, some extra detail I forgot to mention - the pipe is in the back
garden, at the far end well away from the house. All the terrace's
gardens end in a slope down to a lane with garages, the pipe is at the
top of the slope.

That's because it's not technically possible to edit posts on a
newsgroup. You are using a website - Garden Banter - that 'steals'
posts from the uk.rec.gardening newsgroup.

Am I the only one who cannot see whatever the original post via GB was
- all I have is the "I forgot to mention" follow up (and I'm using
multiple news servers)?

That's a common occurrence with Banter. They can usually manage to
copy newsgroup postings, but they frequently fail to post questions to
the newsgroup. Since it's the newsgroup where the answers are likely
to come from, it's not much help to the questioner.
I would advise 'doublehappiness' to come direct to the newsgroup with
a proper newsreader program. I think there's a FAQ somewhere about
this?
