Undated handout photo issued by Scottish Water of a Winnie the Pooh teddy bear in a sewer in East Kilbride that was among the bizarre items to be found clogging sewers last year. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Monday February 17, 2014. The unusual objects were pulled from a drain in East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire by Scottish Water workers. Hundreds of unusual items contributed to more than 40,000 blockages to the drain and sewer network across Scotland, the utility company said. Among these were a pair of jeans, pants, mobile phones, toy soldiers, a deckchair, false teeth and a golf club. On one occasion a credit card stolen from a Scottish Water worker turned up on the screens of the sewage works. See PA story ENVIRONMENT Sewers.
