Is there a surrealist incharge of the paper?
All sounds a bit bizzare to me.
Nothing so interesting seems to happen around here. The only laugh we have
hadwas some years ago when Thames Water found a massive 'Fatburg' in a
local sewer.

Fatberg? Pah! United utilities found a 21" sewer was blocked here (well,
actually local residents found it was blocked when their cellars flooded
with sewage!) Under the cross-roads in the centre of town, below all the
other utilities, so they couldn't dig down to it and it wasn't fat - it
was 25 metres long of concrete! It took months of road closure and
eventually a specialist team from Ireland to tunnel through the concrete
from the inside of the sewer.

They never worked out exactly where the concrete came from, but it was
likely that while re-building the shopping precinct alongside, an
unmapped, unused sewer was accidentally broken and as foundations were
poured, it simply flowed down the sewer.

when iling was being done for the original Eurostar line bridge at
Battersea they wonderd where all the concrete was going. Into the new
Thames Water London Ring Main - which was still under construction.
