No Water

The plumber, having been working in the bathroom all day, chopping out pipes, getting rid of old taps and the like, turns the mains water back on.
Nothing. Not a drop.
Befuddlement and mild panic ensue, along with explanations that this just can’t happen, it can’t be airlocked as it’s the mains water, there’s no reason for it to have happened, so on, so forth.
I wander round to the neighbour’s place, and just check whether he’s got any water. “Nope, it turned off about an hour ago”.
Turns out there’d been a big mains burst in one of the villages a few miles away, which resulted in no water to us. (or the rest of the village, or the next village, or some of Attleborough)
