:A goldfish which survived being flushed down the toilet is enjoying a new lease of life after being rescued from a sewage plant.
- Worker Jake Huey noticed the fish flailing on a mesh filtering screen he was cleaning at the Scottish Water site near East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire.
- He picked it up and rushed to the treatment building, where he put it in water in an emergency tank.
- The fish, nicknamed Pooh, is now being looked after at the Philipshill Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) until a new home can be found for it.
- Mr Huey said: "Obviously someone thought their pet was on its last legs and flushed it down the toilet, which obviously we wouldn't advise.
- "The fish has rallied as it made its way through the waste water network underneath the streets of East Kilbride and popped up in our screens totally revived.
- "This is one lucky little fish. We just need to find a good home for him now."
