100 plastic bags, no problem, 100 metres of nylon, 100 litres of poo.

 

Don't worry about it because it's okay for Auckland Rotary

I have complained to Auckland Rotary but received no response. Depending on the wind direction these will end up in the water and we will get the blame.

The rubber will likely break down, so long as they are natural latex. It's the waste of helium that irks me...

 

But in general, what era do we live in? 1970?

You think that's bad - Watercare just put this through the box today. Some fucker stuck mattress down a sewer drain causing it to block which in turn flooded a property which in turn forced Watercare to discharge massive amount of poo into the creek below our property, out into the Tamaki and past a swimming beach.

 

Some people just don't deserve their place in our society
