I am trying really hard to visualise just what a flow of a thousand litres per second looks like, and what kind of a size of pipe you would need to let this amount of poo escape. I just can’t imagine. But it’s a lot of poo.

  1. No shit?

  2. Quite a lot of shit, actually.

  3. It’s just another reason not to live in Leith…

  4. angry steve may be right; i think they at least filter the crap out. what’s worse though? crap you can see, or toxins and pathogens that you can’t.
    that mcdonald’s in seafield has never tempted me. it’s amazing how the people who sit outside it can even stand the smell.

  5. It’s also interesting that we’ve heard approximately fuck-all from the green meanies on the shite state of the Forth…

    More concerned with bridge crossings, and recycling stuff from your flat (and ignoring the health issues of going to fortnightly bin uplifts in some areas) they seem strangely quiet about 100 million litres of effluent being poured into the Forth.

    How very odd.
