Had to adjust my glasses, read that as " Scottish Water said it dealt with more than 40,000 bagpipes in the drains and sewer network."
... but it was 'blockages'... siiigh, for a moment there I was hoping they'd seen reason. :whome::laugh:

There must have been some....but not 40,000!

People discovered chucking such items down the sewers should have to spend a week helping to clean them out!
When we moved to our present property in 2012, our next door neighbour told us that the previous owners had put nappies, wet wipes, makeup wipes etc down the toilet often blocking the drains, which caused a knock on effect for the neighbours. Fortunately for them I am very drain savvy. Our previous property, a 1610 Welsh farmhouse in a rural area, had no mains drainage and hosted a septic tank. We moved there in 1997, and discovered to our horror, one Sunday two weeks later, that the drain just outside the kitchen window, which led into the septic tank, was completely blocked, and must have been for a good while. It was filled with poo, loads of condoms and other miscellaneous items! My husband reckoned that as I was used to changing baby's nappies I wouldn't mind clearing the drain, YUCK! With the aid of the drain rods it took me all that Sunday afternoon, and I smelled like a sewer myself when I had finished. I bagged up all the clothes I had been wearing and put them in the bin. I had three showers before I felt totally clean. Thereafter until the day we move house I checked the drain daily, woe betide anyone who puts anything down the toilet apart from natural functions and toilet paper!
