1 February (Part 1) - Back to the dark ages
Yesterday
morning I took the cover off the
next door’s drain and there were signs of more
fibrous material down
there so I obstructed the gully with a plastic stick. It started collecting
‘paper’ almost immediately. This was the situation at midday. By the end of the day it was worse.
Thames Water have said that they will post leaflets to all the nearby addresses
but it seems that if someone unused to proper sewage systems chooses to block
mine there is little that can be done about it. Illiteracy won’t help.
