Yes Stockjockey,
How do I say this without upsetting you?? - - and it's not meant to, trust me!
I don't know if I know you, because I am sure that it wouldn't come across the same way if spoken face to face.
but there's no body language to lighten it up, so it comes across like you are in a bad mood.
I also don't know if English is your first Language, as you seem to miss any humour!

You seem to be taking a very Authoritive & Strong line with the way you write to us here on the forum.
Can I suggest you chill out a bit as you come across like the "Big Brother" of S S.
This is a Holiday Forum - not an Employee notice board, no one likes being told off!

Try to be a bit more friendly in the manner that you write and it will go down well!
You just can't TELL people what to do, but if you want to suggest nicely, it may work.

Please accept that this is said in the spirit of Forum friendship, and I really mean that!

By the way - I was a Plumber as a young man, so I know about pipework.
Best Regards and Yammas
Tony

Is it actually the pipes or the water pressure that's the problem re blockages ??? Even the new Athens airport has bins in the loos and as this airport was built only recently wondered why they never put bigger pipes in there?  :-\

Jimbo:
This thing about pipes is an urban myth. It's nothing to do with pipes.

The Greek sewage system uses ultra-violet light from the sunshine to sterilise the raw sewage. With this approach, you want only organic material, since the sunlight can't do much to break down bog paper and condoms.

The paper in the bin is burnt.

This is actually far more hygienic than flushing vast amounts of paper, latex and tampons down the drainage system as we do, and requires much less filtration. Any Brits finding it unpleasant will quickly adjust, and should take tour of a UK sewage plant, where people have to dig loads of flushed rubbish off the filters. It's crazy!

Lesley:
Good Gosh sounds a pretty awful job to have to do.  I will def keep using the bin then......

You will find that most (if not all) premises in San Stefanos use Septic tanks,
I gleaned this info from George, Leonidas - some years ago when he was building the Olive press - he has the photos as well!
How they then treat it may well be as Jim states, after filtering out any non-organics!
