OK, maccruiskeen, we want to know more about the date aspect to that tale.

More people should get a look at how sewage is transported/treated. Screens and the cleaning thereof (often by hand) is an eye opener.
Yes, shit used to be my bread and butter.
What was it? Life's like a shit sandwich, the more bread you got the less...
Would the increase have anything to do with flooding and overflows discharging direct to sea and rivers in that event?
All wet wipes clog up the sewers. Do not flush them, bag and bin.
Pee, poo and paper goes in the bog, nothing else.

I tried to get people to watch the Watermen when it was on.

Sewage processing is dead interesting. Way more interesting than clean water which is just a bit dull to be honest.

Very possibly. In the event of a storm it is possible that solids will find their way over the storm overflow weirs into the storm (i.e. not foul) sewers. Storm overflows are designed to contain solids so they travel down the foul sewer but I would imagine wet wipes are rather buoyant and could go over the weir.

It is good but I did clean water too, which I also enjoyed. We did wash the surveying kit in bleach before going to a clean site though.
I enjoy the logistics of clean water transportation but making water potable is fairly simple, filter it, kill the microbes, get it to the public.
Sewage is infinitely more complex, especially nowadays when the adage 'where there's muck, there's brass' has never been truer. So now not only is there some incredibly clever processes involved in making people's poo safe, there's also some highly intelligent stuff going on in extracting the value out of all that crap that no-one else wants.
Every dump you curl out is like a little stick of gold.

FTFY, based on what she told you and the probable truth 😉
Another advocate of shaving.
Why wouldn't you?
Just don't use a razor!
Actually forget whether or not you should flush your pre-moistened lemon scented toe rags down the kludgy - i'm going to stop flushing full stop.
Turns out I've literally been sitting on a [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-32026636 ]gold mine all this time[/url]
EDIT - just checking its not April
EDIT - no its not
So I was ruminating on this subject this morning.....
For those that trim under there, what clippers do you use? Presumably cheap and cleanable?
