Condensed Version. It was a file that was left in a pipe line And caused lots of damage ( repair work down time etc). They (ICI) had it in a display cabinet.
Many moons ago when god was a boy we were working on a twelve-mile-long pipeline, part of the job when finished was to flush it out courtesy of five fire engines all joined up on a big manifold. It took about three weeks to fill off the mains and the brigade were there just for the flush, when they started pumping there were boxes of welding rods, helmets, chipping hammers, boots, flasks, packed lunches,dead foxes/rabbits, lumps of wood and just about everything in between flying out of the end of the pipe. And lots of water
