Just shows how pig-headed many people are, putting that stuff down the drain.

Most people dump all manner of crap down their toilet without any thought.

Well yes. That is, last time I checked, one of the principle functions of a toilet.

Technically yes. :oops:

I was thinking of all the other stuff that people through down like cotton buds and other uneaten food waste, kitchen rolls which do not break up easily.

They started repairs yesterday and it took 20 mins to travel less than a mile. Lets hope it doesn't take the whole 6 weeks to fix it

I think that 6 weeks is for digging up the road to replace parts of the sewer damaged by the cleaning.
