I've got a clay pipe going right under my house, from one neighbour to another. I have a good mind to chop it in half, block both ends, and see what happens.
Kitchen sink waste

It's HQ, but for the sea, innit?
Up to the age of 14 I lived in a house with only a rudimentary soak away for the outflow from the kitchen sink. It was in the middle of an area about 12 ft square planted with bushes. It never stank, or seemed to cause a problem.

When I did it I didn't know there was such a thing as dual systems. More recently I've found the systems are seperate in my front garden (when I was unblocking a drain). When I've built the extension the washing machine will be moved and I'll plumb it correctly.
Why not? How many people drink straight from a water course?
THREE?!
Why would a shower be dirtier than a sink?
still there though......
yes foul, waste and rainwater ...
there you go ...just what I was saying wasn't much of a problem and got called a dick head for my trouble.........
is it?
d*****ad ....
In the good old days it all ended up in a combined sewer anyway because there was no storm sewer.....the reason the waste as kept separate and then joined the underground foul line by means of a four inch trap in the ground was that lead traps weren't very good at keeping foul gasses out of the sink....
sorry that was a bit harsh .....thought it was you that called me a d*****ad ....but i now see it was that nasty natural philistine .......sorry fellow ham man....
So which would you rather drink?
Sounds like it.
Nowadays we treat one and not the other, what did they used to do? And wasn't that too expensive laying an extra pipe?
Why would it matter what the U bend was made of?
Why would I connect a washing machine to something 10 metres away when there's the other one 1 metre away?
You're going to have to double take that back. I've never operated a ham radio. Although I didn't call you a d*****ad.
