The cost
IS ridiculous but ya cant put a price on self preservation
With the 4 gas on the blink I opted not to explore some dirty foul sidepipes on todays mooch along Masticator
Although I did open one flap to an incoming line and took a couple of stoopy steps inside....ankle deep in sludge the smell was pretty bad !!!!! looked down at me boots and could see tiny bubbles popping up in the silt next to me..............err, time to leave....right now !!!!
maybe its just me but im not partial to H2S in the nasal passage !!!!
only had it (the 4gas) go off once in London climbing up some wooden weir boards on a tight curve of a trunk sewer into the overflow chamber. the silt must have built up on the curve and settled up against the boards, it was more or less knee deep. Scared the S**t out of me !!!!!
