Where the hell has my questions gone?

[Jonnopiper]

Hi there, Ive asked this serious question twice today but for some reason i cannot find it now??? Am i saying something that's against the rules???
Anyway here goes again.
This site was recommended to me by a friend who said that the animal experts here host a range of professionals from different fields so i'd like to run this by you if i can and please bare with me as this has happened and i need advice.

I work as a labourer and me and the lads went to the pub after work last friday, our colleague jim doesn't drink but always comes anyway so he's always is the designated driver. We had a good time and i got pretty sozzled but would like to stress i was in full control of my bodily functions and was far from legless.

The night ended at 10:30pm and jim began dropping us all off one by one, as i live near him i'm always last in the van.
We were driving home down a long country lane when i told jim that i needed to urinate so he pulled over and i went in the bushes whistling as i went, halfway through i heard a large grunt and snort which sounded like screaming which made me jump and i saw a black shadow coming towards me so i froze but it was only jim who had also heard the noise, we heard it again and it seemed to be coming from the road but when jim shined a torch onto the road and bushes on each side of the road nothing could be seen, we walked wearily to the middle of the road and we heard it again, i looked down and there was a sewer grate and the sound was coming from there, we got a large crowbar from the van and pried it open as we though there could be someone stuck in there, we shined the torch down there but could see nothing just water going pass, we shouting hello many times but again nothing, jim said his phone was in the van and he was going to phone the police , he told me to be careful as the sewer drop was 50ft or so, so i lay on my stomach and starting shouting "hello" again and this time i could hear a low pitched growl which got louder and bassier, i then saw what appeared to be a large white piece of wood and then realised that the torch was catching the reflection of two eyes and then it let out another growl and then swum past, i shouted for jim who came running up and i told it i saw what appeared to be a large 20 ft body and two eyes peering at me, he laughed it off as did the police when they came, the police said that the storm drains sometimes had large bits of wood that rubbed on the sides and made odd sounds and we were warned about lifting the grates off in future as we or others could be injured and that's it they went home and i went home and i forgot about it until i read this today.

Is it possible that a large alligator or Crocodile could be living in the sewers?

[Jonnopiper]

Btw way this happened in braintree essex.

[Psybbo]

Where do you live?

[Jonnopiper]

In the uk sibton.

Simple answer: Take more water with your drink.

[Psybbo]

Yes, our posts crossed.

It is a well known fact that Braintree has an alligator problem. If they are caught inthe sewers they are usually released onto the Essex savannah where they keep the wildebeest population down

[Jonnopiper]

Very funny sirprize, the colleague i was with was teetotal and can vouch that he heard the weird noises but didn't actually see the creature as he was calling the police at the time

[ummmm]

Yes it's possible that an alligator or crocodiles are living down there. The sewers are full of them.

[hc4361]

Nonsense. Crocodiles and alligators don't vocalise in any way.

[ummmm]

hc, damn you coming in with facts!! lol

[Jonnopiper]

Hc4361, that's nonsense of course they do!

[Jonnopiper]

Hardly a fact when it's incorrect ummmm, research people! Google's your friend!

[mrs_overall]

hc, I disagree. The Braintree alligator DOES vocalise. It makes a variety of noises, such as
"gor blimey"
"those white stilettos tasted vile"
"quick lads, here comes a wildebeest"

[sir.prize]

Jonnopiper - well, if you've got one of those in your sewers, you better leave the country.

[hc4361]

That's the hippo in the background you can hear

[Jonnopiper]

leave the country? Why i lived in Australia and in Kenya where gators and crocs were rife which is why i know for a fact that i heard a croc or gator down there

paragraph 2 of this post:

"please bare with me"

It's a perv who wants to see us all nekkid!

[Psybbo]

So that's where the Loch Ness monster has got to.

[Jonnopiper]

Very good mrsoverall, why you're wasting your time here is beyond me when you're obviously a talented comedic genius. There must be a thousand stages that are missing you right now.

Is it possible for any animal or reptile experts to chime in and tell me is it possible for one of these creatures to survive in the sewers? What would they eat, and don't they need sunlight?
