    Gathering all my Grandads old coins and sorting through them. He has gathered them over the years but not as a collector. Any valuable ones will be sold if any and paid into his account

    Well there was a drain backing up and flooding a water course, day shift driver turned up early afternoon and took 4 4,000 gallon loads out, I took over at 6pm and continued to pump out, 40mins to load the truck then pop round the corner to tip down a free flowing main drain. By 9pm I had managed to start emptying it quicker then it was filling. Then my boss gets a call saying what I was doing was illegal, and that if I continued they will call the police. So we reported the complaint to Thames water, and I wasted best part of an hour explaining to different departments the situation. Was obviously told to carry on pumping and 40,000 gallons and a few hours later I had got the drain down to the bottom. So at 1am (should've been 00:00 had I been left alone) I switched everything off and had a kip. Kept checking every hour but it didn't start filling again. Day shift took over at 7am and hopefully I got enough volume out last night, so when the peak flow happened at 8am he could keep on top of it.

    Makes me laugh, some people just flush the loo and think it just magically disappears...

    ever heard of dennis nilsen?? he killed 15 young men..he got caught cos he rang up the council & complained about the drains... he'd been flushing body parts down the khazi...........


    i also had the job of building a footbridge over a brook that runs thru hinckley's biggest park... and all i can say is that builders really don't check whether a drain is storm or foul on the 70's estate next to the park when they do kitchen extensions... the smell of laundry & washing up water was almost unbearable....
