Did they have to tie their cat to the rope first and place an open tin of Whiskas at the other end of the pipe?
how do they get the rope through the drain first? I know it can be done but it is part of the operation
Apparently it's put there before the mud builds up, in anticipation of it needing dragging clean. I would have expected them to have tied the next rope to the tire, so it's sat in place ready at the end of the clean up.
Likely use a thin rigid rod or tube of iron/steel with a chain-link like looped end to tie the rope to ? Rod "conduit" would be a few feet longer than the length of the channel to be cleaned by the tire. Steel rod/conduit could be made up of sections that could have M/F end threads which would be screwed to next section. This would assume straight gutters. If curved/bent channels are under the surface, could use long semi-flexible gizmos similar to toilet bend unblockers to tie rope to. More humane than the pussy solution suggested above. # 21361, which happens to be my patent number.
Second word...OFF Actually that was the 9th minute of injury time.... hanging on, hanging on.... Oh heck!!!
Not sure if this is different or not but it came as a shock to hear that there are 200 Met police officers suspended on full pay. Don't know how many police there are in total but 200 sounds a lot presumably under investigation for wrong doing.
