Large Pooh blocks Scottish sewers


Scotland's sewage workers discovered some strange items in it's sanitary system.

According to the BBC, a large Winnie the Pooh bear, a fax machine and a bike, were among the items found in the system across Scotland last year.

Question is, how did it all get there?

Most blockages were caused by people flushing diapers, baby wipes and cooking oil.

The oil and fats, according to Scottish Water, will combine with diapers and wipes causing a blockage that cannot break down easily.

Other items, that we are assuming were accidential flushings, were cell phones, false teeth, jeans and action figures were found.

The larger, bulkier items, like Pooh and bikes had been dumped down manholes.
