Wet wipes - No!
Nappies -No!
Plastic bottie scrapers - No!
Fat from their meat roasts - No! (But what do you do with fat? They do the usual - pour it down the sink without a thought.) Mind you, it's probably the commercial culprits that do the most harm - maybe it takes time to get through the system, and by autumn there might be an improvement.

actually my neighbour blocked the sewer out the back on my property with wipes and er girlie stuff
so .... it backed up and I had some very odd er leaf mulch coming out of one of the drains. The landlord of the adjoining prop shared the cost of hiring someone to blow a jet down the pipe. (£80 with call out) and it kinda persuaded me I cdnt do this as a living. Because HER bog was doing the "I dont flsuh/clear " thing
just thought I should share a serious expense wiv ya all
on this serious theme
( wash hands ++ and short fingernails)

Peter Pedant, you could have saved money and rodded it, spent a few yrs doing drains as a side job, i be blunt.. if it looks erm settled lumpy
you can get a garden hose and water it down, and get them rods out with the plunger on the end..aim for the hole at the bottom at push..that rod..pull back slowly as you will get splash backs, repeat and you will suprised it will flow forward.

A former neighbour of mine had her first baby, then moved out when the baby was approaching three years old. Next resident, one child of 10 or so, quickly found the toilet stopped draining one day. A major operation eventually cleared a very large knot/ball/bundle of wet wipes. The former resident and typically absurdly proud mother is a physician/doctor.
The difficulty is, no-one equates the results of what they do with the final effect.
If one hundred thousand people flush one nappy down one toilet once a week, individually they can imagine that it will have no effect, because we have an efficient modern sewage system.
The problem occurs with the build-up of that massive amount of wastage, combined with all the other wastage, and again, people do not think ahead to the consequences, because human nature is not to bother with such notions.
Education is the answer.
But since we haven't yet managed to educate any generation that excess drugs and alcohol, and speeding in a car, and being bigoted against strangers, and carrying knives, and so on and so on ... are all wrong, and all carry far more lasting and devastating consequences, what chance do we have of educating people not to drop a wet wipe down a loo?
Not much!

LOL at Fender .. he to has shared the path that most fear to tread.
Try explaining the sense of satisfaction you get when you are faced with a 2mtr deep chamber, full of ..S h one t.. and it disappears in in less than 5 seconds after a rodding ! .. Respect where it's due !
Everyone should have to stand and see it done, then perhaps they wouldn't ever put a wet wipe down a toilet again ?

Yes they would, because thoughtless convenience trumps social conscience in five seconds flat.
As pointed out, a doctor, who in a professional situation would no more drop a wipe or nappy down a toilet than fly to the moon, thinks nothing of doing so at home - the distinction is drawn, the common effect is conveniently forgotten.
Human nature is a seriously powerful influence, it takes some overcoming.
