What can you say but ergh ,yuk, gross. Glad I am not about to eat.

That is pretty vile. I wonder if the residents of Kingston are especially fond of wet wipes or whether we are all sitting on top of a mountain of fat and wet wipes.

I felt a bit sorry for it.

Obvious hive of take away food and babies, Kingston upon Thames

I live near there but would like it known I never flush fat down a sink or use a wetwipe.

I used to clear blocked sewers and I used to love big lumps of fat like this.....though never seen one that big. It's very satisfying to be able to scrape or jet them off.

Well, who would have guesssed that's what you used to do?
I imagine it must be satisfying, like a beautician squeezing blackheads.

It is on the local news at the moment.
Imagine your sewers backing up........

A plumber told me he's never had so much work since companies started selling 'flushable' wipes.

Wow. Looks like something out of Dr Who. Just hanging there, all malevolent like.

That will bugger up all the drainage modelling when it's removed.
The risk of flooding will reduce dramatically
Geek speak sigh

Revolting! But surely companies shouldn't be allowed to sell flushable wipes if they do this much damage?

And people really need educating about not putting fat down the sink.

looks like people need educating about the difference between plumbing and bins.

nothing goes into the toilet except body waste and toilet paper. Nothing goes down the sink except water. Not rocket science..
