Gone West Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 It would be interesting if there was historical data going back over the last 50 years. IIRC many years ago the lower Thames was so polluted there was no wildlife in it and then years later they were saying salmon were seen in the Thames.

But before then you just slopped "it" in the street. But @SteamyTea has put me off a crab sandwich, something I always like when I go somewhere making them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like being a little bit pregnant though. I don't think people were that well and healthy 500 years ago. Edited July 8, 2023 by SteamyTea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we now know that Thames Water concealed their river waste at Gatwick, then lied about it. I think we can therefore assume that this was policy, there were many more abuses and that they should be at number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data is only hours of spillage, not overall concentration levels, which would be much more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
