I do not think I would use the term "remarkably clean" to describe the Stink; it has certainly improved, as I said in my original post but not to the extent that I would want to clean my teeth in it. Yes, there are some largish fish to be occaisionally seen in it, but then the Thames has salmon in it again, despite the fact it receives substancial sewage discharges in bad weather (700,000 tons on one occaision in september). I would'nt want to clean my teeth in there either.
Two weeks ago today I walked over the bridge at Church, next to the Sports Centre and there was a horrible looking discharge entering the river from the outlet just the other side of the bridge. I only noticed it because I smelt it. It did'nt look to nice, either.
