# Top shop - tick
Hummus - double tick
Gold star!
*clicks*
I've just walked me dogs by the lake as usual and there is big commotion there. The fish have all died and the conservation people are hauling them out by the ton.
*concerned*

Edit: And it's beginning to get a bit whiffy around here. Dead fish pong.

# I am more concerned for the birds
There are tons of water birds. What will they eat?

# That's quite wrong
and no doubt it will turn out to be some unconcerned twunts polluting the place.
I remember in the eighties when all my koi died one day after I'd had to drain and refill the pond due to algae bloom. Seems there was a massive spillage of aluminium at a treatment plant the day before. Did they give a shit even when I had a vet confirm they had been poisoned. You know the answer.

Edit: hmm, what a coincidence, I notice the 'Flamingo Vlei residential areas'. Here am I thousands of miles away and I live in Flamingo Villa. /coinkydink blog

# That happened to me last year
Most of my koi died after I topped up the pond (just a tiny bit). The swines had dumped massive amounts of chlorine in the drinking water by mistake. I gave away the rest of the koi after that and my pond is empty and will remain that way.

# aluminium is quite safe in water!
that's why after they routinely spill it into supplies due to fucking staggering stupidity that there's no case to answer for.

What's that place down south where people are still getting ill because of it? From the sounds of some chappy on the radio a wee while ago it was having multi generational effects

but it's all quite safe...

:(

# safe for humans
but my vet assured me it killed my fish. Plus it's likely the main cause for alzheimers so boffins reckon. I'm not fond of that especially with an 87 year old gran who's been asking me for the last three days, every 20 minute, "what am I watching again Allan?" I'm not even called Allan.

# not safe for anyone to be honest
let's face it, if it was safe, folk would go around eating aluminim

not the first time something "entirely benign with no ill effects" has been released that caused ill effects.

as they aren't going to get punished for it, they know they don't have to give a fuck

# it was Camelford in Cornwall

# I sympathise
A few years ago, the water board where I lived added chloramine-T to the supply without asking.

Result : large scale destruction of sensitive (and expensive) species like discus.

# Ooh TIS a coinkydink
I live in Flamingo Vlei but I fear it may be renamed to "Vlei" cos the Flamingos are going to vanish if all the feesh have died :(
