I was awakened by one of these beasties in the early hours once after leaving the bedroom window open, i was running around the bedroom naked screaming like a schoolgirl trying to get away from it I have no problem getting up close to look at them when they are still but as soon as they start flapping around i'm gone- 853 replies

Talking about that the bloody hotel room i was staying in last week had a place to hang your clothes behind the door and what is screwed to the floor right where i walk to get my cloths every morning the bloody door stop i lost count how many times i stubbed my toes on it so the last time i went down the van got a screwdriver and took it off lol -
No i'm the 1.5 its a polite way of calling me fat

I like the pun lol Welsh Water is a not for profit company it doesn't have any shareholders and any surplus cash is reinvested in the company apparently.

There's no need its clean if there's no breakdown in the process and any sludge is spread on the land as fertiliser so when the process works everything is good

Its easy whatever you stick down a drain ends up in a treatment works everything is automated nobodies watching, you can have lines of pumping stations that pump from one to the other and eventually to the works these pumping stations can be miles apart its usually a factory getting rid of their waste. I remember driving past a works near where i live years ago where some company had dumped detergent down the drains when it got to the aeration lanes there were clouds of foam blowing away the size of cars and kids on the pavement running though it arms spread wide wheee

Usually because they don't work anymore and they don't have the budget to replace them

Yes but as i said their not allowed to, i didn't say they don't and that's England anyway the first one was somebody else discharging into the sewer if it comes in and it cant be treated by the time they find out it will already be in the rivers the job i am doing at the moment is looking at how sites spill and making sure they record the spill event when it happens and its at the spill point or level its meant to be at but there's a hell of a mess out there, sites are really run down and some no one has visited for years, screens have been removed and not replaced and lots are not working i'm reporting it but don't think anything will be done about it. Look at this i know its a screen but its not supposed to be full of shit and cable tray probably not run in years and in storm conditions the crap just goes over the top of it un screened Then there was this site overgrown and the kiosk door left open when we chopped our way into it the last entry in the diary was in 2019 when the screen was removed and this is typical of what i'm seeing.

They are never allowed to release sewage into the rivers that is only supposed to happen in storm conditions when treatment works, CSO's and pumping stations cant take whats going into them. They will always discharge final effluent into them though that is what it is after its all been treated. Apparently its clean enough to drink but nobody i know is willing to try it

Not really its the AD plants that really stink on the treatment works.

Fucking bragging again Bob

That's a storm screen in a CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) meaning surface water can enter the sewer in storm conditions and combine with the sewage and overflow to the environment but go through that screen first, so stops your rags, sewer mice and big lumps of poo entering the water course it spills to
