London’s sewers are full of cocaine
05 June 2015

London has been revealed to have the highest concentration of cocaine floating around its sewers in all of Europe.

The findings come after waste water was analysed by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, with the report discovering that the capital's sewerage contained 737mg of cocaine per 1,000 people on a daily basis last year.

Which is a hell of a lot cocaine flushing.

We can only assume that this means that subterranean London contains Europe’s largest population of annoyingly confident, speed talking rats, that spend the majority of their time recording incredibly extravagant concept albums.

The report found that London had the fourth highest daily concentration of ecstasy, although oddly absolutely zero traces of cannabis, methamphetamine and amphetamine were recorded.
