TOP TWEETS: #SUPERSEWER On average, there are 500 million tweets every day on Twitter. We look at what people were saying about Thames Tideway after the BBC's three-part documentary 'The Five Billion Pound Super Sewer'. Catching up on The Five Billion Pound Super Sewer and am just in awe of the engineering on a project like this - it's mind boggling how something like this can be achieved. If these Engineers are the best in the world what does that make Bazalgette? @TidewayLondon #supersewer @StuHill89 Much as I like @BBCTwo #supersewer it is blighted by the dumb references to 'x numbers of Olympic swimming pools' and the old British standard unit of weight 'x double decker buses'. Viewers are not that dumb. @pumps1000 Genuinely most enjoyable and soothing thing on TV this year: that BBC doc series on the new London super sewer. Could watch entire Netflix series on it. #poo #sewage #supersewer #relaxing @Sathnam What an awesome final episode of @TidewayLondon's £5bn #SuperSewer last night! Incredible to see the planning and engineering that goes into building infrastructure like this to future-proof our #City. #EngineeringABetterEnvironment #Conquip #BulkX @ConquipGroup So happy to see the #SuperSewer BBC2 documentary raising the issue of wet wipes in the sewers – just because it says 'flushable' on the packet doesn't mean it is! #PublicServiceAnnouncement @EllenTh43892483 Just caught @BBCTwo's #supersewer and I'm super in to it. Massive engineering project. Also wet wipes are not flushable @GlitterUnicorn "Londoners produce more than 1 million tons of raw sewage every day" #supersewer #london #bbc @katybeale Last month's best answers "Looks like someone has ordered the wrong site safety apparel again!"
