Are there any plumbers out there that might remember these pipes there are two of them they look like vent pipes for the sewerage that was pumped to sea before the days of the sewerage treatment farm if you line them up on google earth you end up at the main sewerage station in 5th ave accross from the mine store.
Good thing i dont get the smell over here image281 Up-out
That was crayfish food being pumped out to sea in the old days before the sewerage farm ... ...
Good thing i did´nt eat Cray those days LOL
That why they so tasty mmmmmmmmm
Too true .. crayfish ... shellfish .. pigs of the sea .. same for chickens in natural free range state .. a friend of mine who had a smallholding farm used to give his chickens the cat droppings from litter boxes .. hoo boy did they fight for fair share .. there is a story I read where a guy staying on an island .. polynesia I think .. the tribal locals would do toilet when the tide was coming in in the morning and evening ... as they were doing the deed on the beach they had to be careful of their tender bits cos there was a squabble between the chickens the pigs and of course the crabs who all got used to the routine .. and would wait in anticipation .. ifnot carefull they would get nipped .. pecked or worse so .. well pigs in a frenzy .. might lose the wors ...
@Alfred... will ask my Dad he was a plumber in Oranjemund from 1973 - 1984
Thanks that will be great
Good story here Alfred,
Back when I was an appie working at 4Plt EM W/shop I remember picking great big tomatoes and taking them back to the workshop for cheese/onion & tomatoe sandwiche's, every one enjoying them until answering the question of where did I get the tomatoes.
There was an oasis out in the desert, where there is a stand pipe that occasionally used to overflow ( I was advised what the stand pipe conveyed - still the tomatoes grew wild)
Yes Clive I recall at the new sewer works on the southern side of those trees the tomatoes used to grow wild and the most tasty one's to quite amazing what poo does to crayfish and tomatoes.
Are those pipes on the mine side?
yes1
