Emergency outflows usually exist onto the beach from the town because it's the easiest place to put it, water go down, town above, sea below (for the moment) so water go into sea. The big issue is that they shouldn't be getting used all the loving time, it should be the kind of thing you only use during calamitous weather events to stop the poo poo backing up into people's houses and filling them with turds before flooding out onto the street and eventually ending up in the sea anyway.

Most of them have been there for a long time, I think the big issue is that since privatization the UK has had more people and worse weather, and nobody's bothered to keep up with the infrastructure improvements to handle that. Just slap down more lovely new builds and dump the poo poo in the sea.

Maybe when a calamitous weather event happens we should all just hold it in.

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...f081f06153f7a8f "Labour party membership fell by almost 25,000 in 2022, while its income rose, figures show" I'm sure that's all fine and not another worrying result of the trend the party is taking

 Source https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/iceland-richard-walker-baby-formula-illegal-b2397834.html He says in the interview - apparently if you buy baby formula you're not allowed free parking even if you're going to buy other stuff! (I thought our local Waitrose did but having thought about it, you pay for the parking and then you get the money back on your till receipt). Ok, so maybe breast is best, but many women can't breastfeed for a variety of reasons or can't do it all the time. They already shrank the contents of a can of C&G first milk powder down from 900g to 800g & the price up from £8.50 to £10 (M&S) £10.50 (Boots) £11 (Waitrose)

I feel like you can just say "marketing isn't allowed to say breastfeeding is bad" without essentially putting a sin tax on loving baby food. Like yeah sure historically there've been a bunch of lovely marketing practices to try and convince people they have to buy the stuff because otherwise they're letting their kid down but that seems entirely tangential to charging a fortune for it.

I think Ireland has similar laws. I remember when working in retail that you couldn't use vouchers for baby formula. I worked by a council estate and had a few heartbreaking conversations with people struggling to get by assuming they had a bit more leeway with their budget.

I watch YouTube on my TV and have never logged in on it. Over time I've been algorithmed into a pretty decent selection of sports highlights, oldhammer, lads playing Zelda quickly, ultrarunning, general mucking about in the country, that lad who keeps trying to walk across Wales in a straight line, and a Kiwi doing quizzes on Sporcle. At some point this evening it's cleared all that and replaced it with absolute shite- morons pulling clickbait faces, young people I have never heard of, lots and lots of Lionel Messi, Love Island (or similar nonsense). Why does everything have to turn rubbish? Is this to try and force me to log in on the TV?
