Off topic of a kind but. I new somebody that used to work at a sewerage works, he always had a tale to tell. He said that the amount of false teeth that used to come down the pipes was unbelievable. He used to fish them out and displayed them on a wall in the yard. He said you would be surprised the amount of gummy people who would turn up,more so after a weekend looking for their knashers. He also said since getting the job he'd never had to buy tomatoes.

And plenty of rings & bracelets, been there on intake cleans, you could also tell it was Friday curry night, come six am Saturday am, felt sorry for the poor bloody Hedgehogs washed in on stormy nights though, Finest tomatoes ever., and mushrooms from the old sedimentation beds.

Shot over an old sewerage farm many years ago as a guest. The amount of snipe that we seen still has me in awe today. Truly in their hundreds.

Colin Willock ( Town Gun) if I remember correctly was able to shoot over a sewerage plant either in London or on the edge of, he paid a silly small amount for the permission. Some of the bags sizes and variation of game he shot was amazing.

Have you tried the pubs of Aston Lozells or Nechalls

Old Jack knew his share of rogues. He probably sold them , and spent the proceeds Guinness .

I served with a chap who grew up in Dover, he recounted an experience from his youth. He and his pals were playing football on the heath above the cliffs when they stumbled upon a cache of what they took to be bombs. The bobbies were duly informed and an EOD team was dispatched. One of the local bobbies was detailed off to stand guard at the site of the cache. The kids all stood at a distance gawping (as they do). Whilst standing his post the bobby picked up one of the items, peered at it and gave it a good shake while cocking his ear to check if anything rattled! Subsequently, the EOD team arrived and dealt with the cache (by a controlled explosion). Turns out, they were mortar shells from WWII. Phil said it wasn't until he did a small ordnance disposal course with us, that he realised how close to potentially and unknowingly meeting his maker he was on that day!

I knew a man worked in the sewers of London. He took me on a tour once.

"See that turd there. That's from Savile Row." When I asked how he could ever know he said that the Worshipful Company of Tailors had their annual dinner the night before and on the menu had been salmon and camembert vol-au-vents and there was some still embedded and visible. Then he pointed to another.

"That one there, that's from Buckingham Palace." Again I asked why he was so certain and he explained that there had been a reception for the French Ambassador and asparagus had been on the menu and he could both see it and smell it.

Finally he then pointed to another one. "That one there. That's from Ponders End up near Edmonton." Why I asked why was that? How did he know? "Because its my wife's and it's got my lunchtime sandwiches tied on to it."

So there's always, yes, a tale to tell with these old fellows.
