Poo in our London rivers and possibly water system

I think you've mistaken this for the POO forum.

Oh, wait...

I'm just being Constitution Hill conscious. Every time I see a post there I'd get (betting) palpitation. No news is good news - this has always been my motto.

There was no might about it , it did contain.

That’ll be excrement.

That's what it should have said on those residents banners but 9 letters wouldn't fit so they used **** instead.

I'd have thought sh1t would be too "common" English for that part of London. Nevertheless, it was still safer than say "effluent" in case of a typo error.

If Chill had the oral skills of Mr Ed he'd have asked for a switch of stables by now i'd imagine   


Angry residents have erected a “s--- show” sign mocking Thames Water – after a village was flooded with human waste.

Villagers in Lambourn, Berkshire, have been forced to wade through faeces and sanitary products after raw sewage began spewing out of manholes.

The beleaguered water company has blamed the problem on the wet weather and said it is carrying out daily clean-up operations.

The issue appears to have started in December when a drain began to overflow, before it extended to other areas.

Children have been walking through the contaminated water to get to school, while passing cars churn up the filth, which has also been killing plants and wildlife.

The Romans came, saw and built sewage and water systems that worked as well as straight roads and central heating, the English undid the lot!!

Still quite a few of that privatisation mob made plenty out of it.  An absolute disgrace to have allowed this to happen.

Not that long ago people were singing the praises of how clean the Thames had become sparrow, salmon returning etc, probably pre-privatisation one would suspect!!

Yes we were supposed to be cleaning up our rivers but I suppose the shareholders must take priority.

A new species of bird has been named by Thames Water even though they are dead, choked on used tampons from the Thames and confused the birds as looking like voles in the dark. Named them Sanitary Owls!!
