"Yet, even a moderate shower can see poo, tampons, condoms and wet wipes spew into the iconic waterway that flows past some of the country's most famous landmarks."

"One key reason London's sewers overflow so often at the moment is the city has been increasingly covered in pavement"

Maybe they eat too much stuffed cabbage.

They still haven't cleaned that up on the other side of the pond?

That's what happens when you jam pack so many people into a tight space. Big cities are filthy. Some are filthier than others, but they're still not nearly as clean as smaller cities.

For example, this photo was taken in Toronto...

and this one was taken in Saskatoon...

As Pierresro said in an earlier post today, "Some of the crap members bring up is stupid but hey it's their choice!"

You'd fit right in tely. Whenever you open your mouth the verbal equivalent of poo spews out. Your posts show the typed equivalent.......

we've been listening to their wonderful classical radio station 101.9. it can't be all that bad...

And London is blessed with the material and engineering assets to deal with the problem. Imagine those dozen or so other cities that are both larger and poorer.

Parts of London are quite beautiful ... it's the people who are disgusting.

In New York City after the series finale of M*A*S*H, the sewage system was brought almost to its breaking point (since so many people waited until after the show to go to the bathroom.)... imagine what THAT potentially could have looked and smelled like...

Then why the fuck do you read posts in this thread while you are eating? Simply step away from your computer/put your phone or tablet down and eat your food in peace. It isn't fracking rocket science, you know.

Uh right.

Pics of the results of the 2009 five week garbage strike in Toronto tell the story.

As you'll notice though, people did still deposit garbage at garbage cans...it didn't just get pitched wherever.

One day, when you lose that chip on your shoulder...you'll have to actually travel and visit Toronto.....the way that some of us have visited every provincial capital city in our country.

I try to look for the good in cities and countries when possible. Every nation and city has it's dirt, both in the rivers and in the pages of history.

You should regret making ALL your threads!

I was only making a comparison between larger cities, and smaller cities.

And there was a two week garbage strike two years before.
