Great British Beach Clean

As I found myself with an unexpected morning with no other responsibilities, I was able to head to Cramond to assist the Marine Conservation Society with a regular beach clean. 

It was much more horrible than I expected.  When there is heavy rain, the storm drains can't cope and the stuff which has been flushed down the toilet ends up heading for the river instead of the sewage treatment plant. The vast majority of the > 600 kg of waste which the team collected this morning was sanitary products.  Why, oh why, are people flushing these down the toilet?  Education required.
