00:00 So today is Sanshee Tower emptying day by the looks of it.
00:06 We've got one there, and we've got another one just down there.
00:12 You can see it.
00:14 And if I move it to this side, we've got another one right there.
00:17 Ooh, something just came in.
00:19 I don't know what the other things are yet.
00:22 And until the tide goes down, I can't really identify them.
00:27 But this kind of stuff shouldn't be in the sewage works.
00:32 This is causing more problems, so I think we need to start talking to people more about what we flush down the toilets
00:38 and what we use in our bathrooms, because this kind of stuff cannot go down there
00:42 because the sewage system just can't handle it.
00:44 And let's face it, we've got to do everything we can.
00:46 There's lots of lumps coming out of that.
00:48 Can you see?
00:50 I don't know what this is.
00:54 There it goes.
00:58 So this pipe on Beach Boys says that it stopped going off over an hour ago, an hour and a half ago, two hours ago.
01:08 But I'm watching it still going off now.
01:12 I don't know what's going on here, and there's definitely some horrible things coming out of the pipe as we're watching it.
01:19 I don't know what it is. There's lots of natural stuff.
01:22 Oh, there's a tampon applicator caught live coming out of Bud's farm. Delicious.
01:34 Let's keep watching to see what happens.
01:43 Oh, a cotton bud stick.
01:45 This is what we're watching now, live, flowing out of the outflow.
01:49 These things should not be flushed down our toilet.
01:53 Absolutely not. It's not helping the situation.
01:57 But we shouldn't be letting all this out anyway.
02:05 Let's keep watching for what else we can catch alive coming out.
02:21 It's slowing down with all the nice big chunky things that have been coming out, so let's see if we're near the end.
02:34 Oh, another sanitary towel. What a treat today. That one just came out.
02:41 I reckon in the good spot.
03:01 There's something down there. I don't quite know what that is yet, so we'll keep watching while the tide goes down to see if we can identify that on the edge there.
03:27 Oh, another cotton bud stick.
03:34 Oh, another cotton bud stick.
04:03 The sanitary towels are looking a bit gross. Oh, look, there's some gloves down there.
04:12 Just normal gloves, you know, that you wear to keep your hands protected against things, potentially COVID-y stuff.
04:20 So there's one, two, three, four sanitary towels there.
04:31 Four sanitary towels. That there is a pair of gloves attached to that one.
04:35 And on this side, another pair of gloves.
04:40 None of this stuff should be in our sewage works.
04:44 This is the bike that said it stopped going off at 3.30, I believe, something like that, 3 o'clock maybe.
04:51 It's definitely still discharging.
