Huge Fatberg in Kingston

Britain's biggest ever 'fatberg' has been removed from a London sewer.


Thames Water say a "bus-sized lump" of food fat mixed with wet wipes formed in drains under London Road in Kingston upon Thames.

The blockage was discovered after residents in nearby flats complained they couldn't flush their toilets.
Thames Water believe if it wasn't removed it could have led to sewage flooding homes, streets and businesses.
Gordon Hailwood, Waste Contracts supervisor for Thames Water said: "Given we've got the biggest sewers and this is the biggest 'fatberg' we've encountered, we reckon it has to be the biggest in British history.
"While we've removed greater volumes of fat from under central London in the past, we've never seen a single, congealed lump of lard this big clogging our sewers before."

Horrible.

What, again? Could have sworn this story was in August last year.

Looking at the date, you're right...unless you'd already noted that in which case, well played and good sarcasm.
