00:00Morning folks. Here we are in Gunston once again. Look at the colour of that chalk stream.
00:08I know we have some runoff from soil and stuff going in to all the rivers and stuff now,
00:16and in areas where we have exceptional rainfall, but we haven't got exceptional rainfall around
00:19here. And once again, despite all the things that Anglian Waters say they're doing around
00:23here, they know there's going to be a fairly heavy dump of rainfall, they know what's going
00:28to happen. And this is all bits of toilet paper, you can see them here. Again, stinks.
00:37Toilet paper, flying, as you can see, flying, it's all going into the stream. Big bits of
00:45toilet paper everywhere, look, there you go, coming out of this manhole cover.
00:55Beautiful old watery lane, where the Romans once were drinking their water, down by the
01:00chalk stream here. You wouldn't want to drink this now, would you? Anyway, this is despite
01:07there apparently being a valve up the road where they can stop this from happening now,
01:10but again, they've just let it happen. Look.
