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. :emoticon-0100-smile # 21361, which happens to be my patent number.:emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:

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.

Mainly officers who are being reinvestigated for historic offences after the Wayne Couzens debacle.
