Little was done to prevent unwanted sewage sludge and storm water from entering our rivers that were created millions of years ago for excessive rainfall and ground water! Huge salaries and bonus, But still the river is the cheapest form of conduit to sea for our effluent! Picture an outgoing tide?…

Huge cliffs of skeleton remains of the Jurassic period nearby, And a big seal bigger than me down in the local river! (and i’m near 6ft tall)! Plus a colourful Italian ‘Wall Lizard of the Mediterranean area has made home under my paths slabs? And to top it all a Fox has a kip in the corner of my garden! Has the world gone mad?
