Eeh, yuk! What’s that smell? How a dirty nappy managed to ground a passenger jet

My local David Lloyds Gym constantly has to close the main swimming pool due to babies pooing whilst in the pool during daytime sessions. The Gym actually supply special waterproof over pants for young children but still they are taken into the pool with just trainer knickers on
The pool usually ends off closed for 24hrs for sterilisation. in the case of the Plane a couple off tieable plastic bags to seal in the soiled nappies and they can be dropped into the normal toilet waste bin, it is not rocket science. G

It clearly states that NOTHING but toilet paper should be flushed down the toilets!! Illiterate or stupid parent.. definitely bill them, then maybe they'll realise how much of a 'stink' they caused!!

And you know who you are don't you :(

It's not just on planes that they cause problems - one of my (unidentified) neighbours puts nappies down the toilet on a regular basis and they block they sewer system, resulting in the effluent backing up and into my garden. Some people do not have the brains they were born with. - I would love the opportunity to identify them and bill them for the unblocking.

I wonder why some people are stupid enough to do that. Since it only says a toilet I take it that it was a parent disposing of a baby's nappy. It makes you wonder what sort of parent this person is.

What ignorant plank would put a nappy down a loo? You feel for the baby being brought up by the only surviving brain donor!

This really hacks me off...so many airlines get bad press about delays but so many are caused by some numbnuts flushing a nappy down the loo (Which they have to pass by the bin to do) or those that #$%$ themselves then flush pants down the loo....?! There are bins people! Plus the pipes are small and only for toilet waste and thinner due to build up from said mess (Too much info I know but can you guess what industry I am affiliated with? Lol!)....so if you put something that shouldnt be down there...voila. Blocked loos and then passengers complain? Its actually a passengers fault?! There should be an alarm that goes off if something of a certain size is put down the bog and the door fly open to reveal the culprit - pmsl!! Not literarlly pmsl of course cos then Id have to flush my pants down the loo...... ;-)

shouldn't be too difficult to find the culprit. how many passengers were travelling with a baby? let's just hope they are held accountable for the massive expense involved in this fiasco and banned from the airline.

Bill the dirty mother,doesnt know the difference between a waste bin and loo,last year a mother changed her new youngster on the spare seats opposite us while we had our inflight meal.manners none,a case of sod you its 2012.

Stupid parents. Yes, babies do produce smelly nappies sometimes, but parents with any sense wrap and tie them in plastic nappy bags so others don't have to put up with the smell.

Thats life in 2012,same stupid people dont know what a napkin is for..............breeding gone wrong im afraid.

The mother needs a slap. Trying to flush a nappy down the bog on a plane!!!. WTF was she thinking?.

A house I once lived in was a mid terrace in a row of six,our drains were blocked by a nappy, and we all had to pay £200 each to get it cleared,even though only one person had a baby.The airline must know who did this,there couldn't be that many babies on board.!

Disgusting;all because some lazy ignorant parent can't be bothered to use a bin;it's just easier/quicker to throw the whole thing down the toilet rather than put it in a plastic bag/nappy sack;i hope they find the culprit and they are made to pay .

Walking along the pavement the other day, passing a car parked at the side of the road, the woman driver dropped a stinking nappy out of the window just on to my shoe. Having gloves on I picked it up and smeared the excrement all over her windscreen and the side window and rear window. Then tucked it under the screen wipers. She screamed she was phoning the police. My response was speak to them and I'll wait for them to arrive. Needless to say she got out, put the nappy in the boot and cleaned the screen with screen washer then cleared off.
As for nappies on a plane, every plane I have flown in with a toilet has a large sign saying please do not put nappies down the toilet.
As other posters have noted, it should not have taken much brain power from the cabin crew to find the culprit and sue him or her.... why do we assume it was the mother? Could have been a Dad who was changing the baby for the first time.

Who needs WMD'S when you got the best in bio-warfare.

Such products should not be put down the loo, aircraft or any other, nappies and similar adult hygene products should be wrapped in sealed disposal bag and placed in a sanitary products bin, I always have a couple of these disposal bags in my handbag just in case I am out and about with my grandchildren and find there arn't any in the change bag on their pram. A wee bit of common sense and a bit of forward planning when you are traveling with kids could have saved everyone a lot of inconvenience, embarasement and a nasty pong.

Incredible how smelly babies can be - and the parents still think the rest of us should put up with it because they have to. There are a lot things that should not be flushed down toilets yet many think of the loo as a universal garbage disposal machine.

The stupidity of an increasing band of parents beggars belief, presumably the offender was on board this flight & should be brought to book. Disposable nappies by many parents are increasingly regarded as normal litter & not the serious health risk they are. Look in any supermarket or normal car park even lay-bys don't escape this epidemic, your just as likely to find thrown away nappies as frequently as Kentucky or McDonald's rubbish.

Just how these people live & what state their homes are in is a curiosity, branded they surely are, either as pond life or possibly the missing link

The solution would seem to be to ban disposable nappies & return to terry towels & for working mothers with children to give up work & return the role of proper parenting, thereby ensuring their own children don't become part of their own current decline in standards & reverse the present erosion of the evolutionary process.

Cant believe how some people put nappies down the toilet the mind boggles its just stupidity.
