Reese Morgan2026-07-21T10:16:17.000Z

haha nah it's always the guy in the white Ranger who did it

Leo McKenzie2026-07-21T10:06:17.000Z

hope everyone's safe but also who do we blame this time? council?

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T10:16:17.000Z

council will find a way to tax us for it mate

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T10:45:17.000Z

probably some truck driver who didn't secure his load. happens every few months.

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T11:08:17.000Z

this is why we need better hazardous waste regulations. shocking that it just enters drains like that.

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T11:59:17.000Z

yeah but they wont do anything until someone dies

Zoe King2026-07-21T12:15:17.000Z

Reese Morgan2026-07-21T12:33:17.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-21T13:14:17.000Z
