BBC News - Abbey Mills: Fatberg weighing 35 tonnes removed from sewer

Took 220 'man-days' to clear! :eek:

A fatberg weighing 35 tonnes - the same as three double-decker buses - has been cleared from an east London sewer, Thames Water said.

It took 11 days and 20 people to clear the Abbey Mills mass of waste
, made up of unflushable items such as tampons, wet wipes and condoms.

That's one job I certainly wouldn't want!
 
A more local nutter to me. :D


A man who chained himself to a bus stop because the display did not work is now happy after the council fixed it.

Peter Stairs, 79, attached himself to a bus stop in Hove with a chain and padlock after becoming enraged in a bid to get the council’s attention.
The bus stop, in New Church Road, was installed ten months ago but was not activated by Brighton and Hove City Council.

One morning the navy veteran “snapped” and resolved to chain himself to the bus stop until it was switched on “or he died there”.

:D
 

The jury’s verdict, which came after only two days of deliberations, makes Trump the first president from Queens – or anywhere in the United States, for that matter – to become a felon.

What an odd thing to say. There are no other presidents from Queens. Thank fuck. Haven't quite got the hang of this one.
 

Are there any stories on the Coventry Telegraph that aren't about piss bottles? Fair play on the second one though, it's fairly common for me to see a story and think "that sounds like a Day Today/Brasseye sketch" but it's considerably rarer to see a story that sounds like it could be a Jam sketch. "When tasting antique port from gameshow guest, only to discover it's 150 year-old piss, then welcome..."
