Monster fatberg blocks London sewer

Yeh I get that, I guess, mentally I'm OK to take the hit. Having been drilled into us growing up about droughts and wasting water etc (australian)

That's not really a problem in the UK - we get plenty of water! Plus water really only gets "wasted" if you chuck it outside. Then we have to wait for it to evaporate, rain, find its way into a reservoir etc etc. If you just pour it down a sink it ends up straight back in the system. OK, so it needs to be treated again but that's a relatively easy and cheap process, so there's very little waste.
 
Just use bidets ffs.

Or this.
 
I didn't know people did this. I wet the dish under the faucet if it's dry, scrub it with detergent using a sponge/scrubber thing, rinse it off, then put it on a drying rack.

My water goes cold again if I turn it off, I'd much prefer to fill the sink with hot water (and rinse as needed) than have the tap running while I wash all the dishes.

That's uncalled for. Fatbergs also got feelings, fatberg shaming needs to stop.

Bidets are incredibly rare in the US. Never seen one here.

This is my fault guys, I don't leave the bathroom until the wipes leave my arse whiter than when they went in. Sorry.

Honestly, what's the obsession with bidets. Just use toilet paper.

I imagine the majority of these wet wipes are used on babies so this idea of bidet is fucking stupid, unless you expect people to hold a new born over a toilet.

The stuff that people flush through the toilet is amazing. Sanitary pads and diapers are designed to absorb as much water as they can and expand as a result, what do people expect what happens when you throw that in a huge pool of water? Toilet paper is made to fall apart when wet, so that's why it's perfectly ok to flush it down. The things you would see if you open up someone's piping, you don't want to see that ever.
 
Does everyone in UK wipe their ass with wet wipes?

I don't... it's the first I've ever heard of this... well... outside of mom's using wet wipes on their babies to clean up when changing nappies.

I've never heard of adults using wet wipes to wipe their arse. It sounds so uncomfortable.
