Maybe if they monitored the state of the sewers more frequently, it wouldn't have grown to 250 metres.

A job for robots. Both monitoring the sewers and cleaning them up. It's a tulip job but someone doesn't have to do it.

I don't think Tulip Bot would fancy the gig either to be honest, he's too good for that.

That's Brexit Britain for you!

I'm sure this guy would make light work of it (surely the worst job in the world...)

They just increased their inspections from weekly to every other day - this is what happens.

This is Thames "let's pile on the debt" water you are talking about.

Personally they should ban wipe type toilet roll as a start. It is a blot on the environment.

Toilet paper breaks down quickly so doesn't cause this issue. It's the disposal of wet wipes and those antibacterial wipes that block drains large and small. Never, ever flush those. They don't break down sufficiently quickly (assuming they ever will) for sewers to cope. Better yet, don't use them! Boilable cloths are far better for the environment.
