If you emptied a pint of shit into a swimming pool, it'd empty quicker than if a shark was on the loose. I never bother swimming in the sea, here or abroad, because I don't fancy swimming in diluted shit. I honestly thought in this day & age we'd managed to address this pollution issue, but alas that's not the case. Discharges into rivers & the sea after a spot of rain (or no rain at all) This whole sewage disposal needs some serious capital expenditure, FFS it's not much better than pouring tubs of it into your nearest watercourse. The truth is we need drainage systems for wastewater/surface water & separate for the nasty brown stuff. That of course won't go down well with the shareholders of these companies & their cronies.
