Why isn't water spraying from my rear windscreen washer?

Question:
I've got a 1998 s reg mark 4 golf. Water hasn't been spraying from the rear washer since the day i bought the car! (Its been about 7 months now). I've removed the cover and had a look at the water pipe. The connection is fine and there is no sign of leaking water. The front washers work fine so what could be causing this problem?
Thanks.

Either the nozzle is blocked or the pipe is full of gunge.
Disconnect the pipe from the pump and blow through it with an airline. (Keep out of range of the other end when you do!)
