"...I received a long report from the Middle Mersey Effluent Treatment Unit which really was absurd. It talked about "allegations of odour". These were not allegations. These were strong smells, about which everybody knew except the people being paid to know. They made sure that they kept a long way off. The report talked about a complaint in 1966 and again in 1967 and said that ASP1 went out of action, and that caused it."

There seems to be an Hansard for everything - even if it stinks.

The information on Mr. GJ Fowler was interesting - he was bestowed with quite an honour.

Whoops - I was making a gravy error there: mixing up Bovril with bestow.

This flipping link was a flop - your gon-googling left me ^high and dry.

(^The Pontcysyllte aqueduct towers 126 feet above the River Dee - I haven't ever gone gongoozling there.)

Btw Henry Gee was mayor of Chester in 1540. He cancelled the Traditional Shrove Tuesday football game and replaced it with a horse race. His surname is where we get the informal name for race horses - 'Gee Gee's'.

I know it aint really linked to gongoozling or sewage, but I will try to get round that to keep you on Merseyside:

You can fly around the fences without the fear of falling here..

PS - Re. The Pontcysyllte aqueduct
- from what you say, it seems to be a cut above the *cesspit.

*I'm not sure if cesspit is the correct terminology for sewage farms.
