Toilet roll was invented in 1891? What did they use before that?
In days of old,
When knights were bold
And paper wasn't invented,
You wiped your **** on
A telegraph pole
And walked away contented.
If you really believe the manufacturer's blurb about them being flushable, then YOU can go down the sewer at 3am and clean them out of the screens... you get wellies, a paper suit, gloves and a gardening fork. No word of a lie.You can actually buy flushable wet wipes.not that I do, but I'm sure I've seen it in a similar thread to this on here before.

Goose neck if you were posh, handful of straw if you weren't.

Toilet paper, it just wasn't patented as that wasn't a thing yet.

No, I actually work for a living!!You don't work for the councils drain division by any chance ?
Fully fledged water utilities company, hence the aforementioned PPE.
Paper rolls down the front, otherwise you get traces of fudge dragon against the wall.
/thread
/mumsnet thread
/pancake
Etc
wait are you wiping with it still on the roll !?
id want a dam sight more than a paper suit.
for one something waterproof
Im gonna guess that the water doesn't come above the wellies and the paper suit is just disposable for dirt. If the whole sewer had water in it he would drown

It is waterproof... Just papery, designed for one-use only. It's like those all-in-one dust suits from B&Q, but industrial strength.id want a dam sight more than a paper suit.

We do have waders in the van... but if it's that high, you won't reach the solids in the pipe invert anyway.Im gonna guess that the water doesn't come above the wellies and the paper suit is just disposable for dirt. If the whole sewer had water in it he would drown
If the whole sewer is surcharged, we do actually have scuba people... Now they do cost a bomb for daily rates!
