Beardo Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Insane. Funnily enough that picture in the article is not the reservoir he pee'd in, it was this one which isn't half as pretty... the pic in the Telegraph article is Couger dam (there's a great hot springs there, usually full of naked hippy chicks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Really odd, but I have a fear of reservoirs I reckon I'd have a heart attack if I was thrown in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Surely that water gets filtered BEFORE being piped into the main water supply! Media Hype gone barmy, yet again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Would you expect any different from a nation that voted 2 members of the Bush clan as presidents? 10 gallon hats and 2 pint heads sums it up quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Obviously never filled a billy can or pot from a hill burn to make a brew & walked upstream later to find a dead sheep or coo in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmitemania Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Really odd, but I have a fear of reservoirs I reckon I'd have a heart attack if I was thrown in one I can sort of see where you are coming from, the one's like the second picture, I think its because its very deep and still water contained by a bit of concrete, I think damms would probably cause the same sort of fear.

Mungler Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Errr so what happens if a bird flies over and has a poopy in it? Or a rat goes toes up in it and rots away? Very very bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here in London they put sewage effluent into the River Thames and then take drinking water out further downstream. Not once, not twice but SEVEN times. I have a reverse osmosis water purifier in my garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 ....does it remove swan spaff? I'll check the manual later and let you know. I worked in the water industry in some form or another for many years and I tell you you wouldn't go near a public swimming pool if you knew what I know. They have to dip the water each day to test the urine level (urea) and its usually bloody high. When it goes too high they let some of the water out and put more in. Just enough to get it down below the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the only way to warm up when swimming Mind you, I have always been quite suspicious of the water quality in the toddlers pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I offer my belated but sincere apologies for all those in the Midlands who get their drinking water via Ladybower Reservoir. It won't happen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
