This isn’t the first time a monster “fatberg” has been found in the UK’s sewers. This whopping “fatberg” is 210 foot in length (64 metres) and was found in Sidmouth. It is made up of grease and used baby wipes that people have wrongly flushed down the loo. Removing this nasty mess will reportedly be “exceptionally challenging.” The last major “fatberg” seen in 2017 was in London and was 820 foot long (250 metres) and weighed 143 ton. It took months for workers to clean it all out.
