"Walls of fat" being removed by hand from London sewer system (W/ PIX)

[DimJim]

Reminds me of the fat mines from Discworld.

[MegaJohnny]

I wonder if I could hire some miniature workers to do this for my arteries.

[DrBreen]

I found a video of it: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10638280[/url]

I would do this if the pay was good enough

[eemmzz]

That smell must stay on you for days. :gonk:

[QUOTE=he-did-it--->;23343849]What the fuck will they do with 1000 tonnes of fat? Flush it down the toilet?[/QUOTE]

They just got it out of there. Why put it back in?

[Disgruntled]

Gabe Newell's heart cries tears of agony while viewing these pictures, reminded of a time where the situation was about the same in his arteries.

I want to eat it and stuff little chunks of it down my urethra.

Have fun with your new friend.

It's E. coli if you're wondering.

[Mr. Someguy]

I wouldn't mine doing this. I have a pretty high tolerance for stuff like this. I was actually planning on being a garbageman but there were no opening available.

Is ~28.00 USD/h good enough?

[Docc]

Oh wow what a job.

[Git]

[QUOTE=Archy;23351838]uhhh, no?
composters & green bins exist for a reason[/QUOTE]

I have something called a waste disposal, its like a plug hole meets a blender and you chuck your food down that.

[QUOTE=markg06;23341485]I very much doubt most of the UK gives a rats ass about London[/QUOTE]
Don't worry, we don't care about you either

[killa101]

Still heads down to the sewers in most cases. Besides, it'll congeal eventually.
