Helicopter Sewage Mistake

29 Firefighters in rural Australia were tackling a blaze in New South Wales when a water-bombing helicopter decided to help them out. It unleashed tonnes of water over the firefighters from above, but the firemen were NOT happy. The helicopter pilot was supposed to pick up fresh water from a water works, but had mistakenly collected the liquid from a sewage treatment works instead.

The Rural Fire Service spokesman said: "All 29 firefighters on the fireground and their equipment were immediately withdrawn and decontaminated by Fire and Rescue. The Australian Workers Union is currently demanding the incident to be investigated.

WTE Ltd Says: "Should have gone to SpecSavers"

Snippets from last month's emails to WTE Ltd:

"The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared."

"Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink"

"Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces."

"Our septic tank has backed up and our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third, so please send someone round to do something about it."

"Please send a man with a big digger to do the job and satisfy my wife"

" My sewage plant is in the shrubbery, but my bush is really overgrown round the front. Will this stop air getting to it and make it smell?"

"My drains at the back are broken and my back passage has fungus growing all over it"

"Dear James, How are you. Why do you answer my questions?"

Please read the 'comment' below as their email snippets are even better than ours!!

Apologies to the people who sent these - we are laughing with you, not at you.

EU crematorium corpse 'dissolve and flush’ proposal

The EU is currently investigating a proposal, which would allow undertakers to dissolve deadPour your relatives down the toilet bodies and flush them into the sewerage system.  This proposal has come from the Flemish Association of Undertakers as a way of cutting down on the amount of land taken up by burials.

The plans would see people’s deceased loved ones being placed in containers containing caustic salts and water. These containers would then be pressurised and some time later the liquid and mineral ash left over could be flushed into the sewerage system.

Yes, we are talking about dissolving the dead and flushing them down the loo. WTE Ltd. is appalled that the European Commission is even looking into this shameful, polluting and disrespectful suggestion.

It is the European Parliament that wants dissolving and flushing down the sewers.

Your comments please!

UPDATE 28TH June 2012 - WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! We thought that the above post was ludicrous, but we have just been asked to design a treatment system for a 'CREMATORIUM' that actually does this! They dissolve the bodies in caustic soda  and they want WTE Ltd. to design treatment for the resulting liquid before discharge to watercourse!! Apparently, all the solids that are left are a few fragments of bone, teeth, etc to be screened out and put in the urn! What happens in YOUR local 'Crematorium'?? You know what they say, "Where there is smoke there is fire" but what if there isn't any smoke???? Your comments please!

 

UPDATE 04/04/2013 Just been asked to quote for ANOTHER ONE!!!! We are NOT interested. Something should be done about this!!!

The new City Hall building in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler, Arizona comes with something that has a lot of people wondering who does it. The Restroom signs says 'Do not drink out of the urinals and toilets'.

Now I have seen my dog drink out of the toilet, but then the sign wouldn't be of any use to him as he can't read.

Just how thirsty would you have to be to consider such a thing? MayDrinking out of the toiletbe it is common practise in America - which could explain the fact that they use more breath fresheners and have their teeth whitened more than any other Nation?

As for the staff at WTE, we will resist temptation and stick to tap water - well, all except for Maureen (what is that slurping sound?) - she always was adventurous!

A Chinese man has been rescued after two days stuck up to his neck in a toilet cesspit.

The man was only discovered when a passerby walked into the outside toilet and heard his cries.

The passerby called emergency services after trying unsuccessfully to free the trapped man.

Firefighters dropped a ladder into the cesspit in Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia, and the man finally escaped.

He was so weak after two days underground that it took him 20 minutes to climb up the ladder.

Firefighters said the man was not seriously hurt by his ordeal - but was in dire need of a wash.

"As soon as he came out, he rushed to a nearby pond to have a bath," said one fireman.

The man said he slipped while using the outhouse toilet hole two days ago, and slipped into the pit below.

Nobody had used the toilet in the mean time so he was not discovered - even though his family had reported him missing.

The Sugagabes' Brit Award is kept by Heidi Range above her toilet. Brit Award kept in toilet

The singer said that fiancé Dave Berry came up with the idea.
"I've got the award and Dave put it above the toilet in my bathroom," she told Alex and Lucy on Key 103's IN:Demand.

"My mum went absolutely mad when she came down. She said, 'You don't put that on there. You don't put your Brit on the toilet'.

"I want everyone to see it, but Dave was like, 'They will - everyone goes to the loo when they come round"
 
(Coutesy of 'Digital Spy')
 
What a coincidence! - I would keep all my Sugababes CD's down the toilet as well!

MPS and peers had a sewage crisis yesterday - when the Houses of Parliament ran out of LOO ROLLS.

Politicians were flushed with 'a motion' as it was discovered that there was hardly any toilet paper left for more than 13,300 Parliamentary staff.

Insiders blamed the KGB - no, not the Russians, but KGB Cleaning Suppliers who operate a "just-in-time" supply policy.

One insider said: "Cleaners have been complaining about a shortage of loo roll for days. It's all come to a head today. There are loads of toilets without a scrap of paper."
 
Last night an emergency order was rushed in to relieve MPs and peers.
 
Perhaps they could have used some of the abundance of MP's expense claim forms Gordon Brown Loo Roll, or how about installing this Gordon Brown '50 Million Pound Note' loo roll instead?
 
Trust the KGB to be behind it all!

To mark 'World Toilet Day' - (Yes, there is one) - the charity CORD - based in New Street, Leamington - launched the world’s first toilet twinning project, allowing you to link your loo with its very own twin toilet in the African bush.
You twin your toilet with a new loo 4,000 miles away in Burundi and in return for your sponsorship you get a certificate with a picture of your twinned toilet and its exact co-ordinates so you can see it for yourself on Google Earth - How Exciting!!  Let's hope that the picture is of the OUTSIDE of the toilet!
 
It could make a wonderfully novel Christmas gift for the man who has everything.
Richard Dickson, CORD’s head of supporter relations, said: “It’s a fun way of tackling a very serious issue".  Sewage has never been such fun!
