Re: Another Realspeed weird thought
This post reminded me of growing up in Withernsea.
We all learned to swim in the sea and we all ended up with brown stuff, around our mouth & nose areas, each time we came out of the sea.
While swimming you could see all the small bits of toilet paper floating along.
It was all very normal, in those times, and nobody worried much!
Turned out that all of the local sewage was in a pipe which ran out to sea about 30 yards from the town.
Didn't do us too much harm, however, and might have made many of us more germ resistant later on.
It was good for the Shell fish, in the area!
