It is a sensation on BBC news. We have three weeks before they remove it all. So we need to get cracking. It chimes well with City Now City Future.

He is meeting the media on site at 2pm and is happy to handover a piece of the fatberg as well as wrap up all the media then. Wasn't such an instantaneous response! The address is . Alex - how do we want to proceed? Katie - please can you quickly work up a media note and quote from Sharon. If we go ahead please can you be prepared to attend as well. I'm going to email Thames Water now and loop in Alex and Katie. Andrew 1 Katie Ormerod From: Andrew Marcus Sent: 13 September 2017 11:24 To: Cc: Alex Werner < Katie Balcom be < Subject: Museum of London/ Fatberg Hi , Great to talk to you just now. Thank you for your enthusiasm for what I imagine is a slightly random request. I have cc'd my colleagues Alex and Katie who will be taking this forward if we're able to get our act together in time. Alex is lead curator for the Museum of London. Katie is our PR Manager. They will follow up. All the best, Andrew 1 Andy Holbrook From: Andy Holbrook Sent: 13 September 2017 08:17 To: Sharon Robinson-Calver Cc: Claire Sussums Subject: Re: Metro - Shared Article "Biggest' fatberg is so lard to shift' 'Wet wipes, nappies, cooking fat' Mmmmm Yes it's an interesting conundrum but expect whoever is dealing with this can advise on biohazard risk, flow temperature (can it melt?) and all that stuff. I assume a significant component of the organic matrix is saturated and will dry out (and we would want it to- although it is going into a soaking wet basement, so maybe equilibrium will be reached!). So we'll need to look at that as well over time.

(I'm doing some fatberg research and need to get at some articles). Thanks so much Andy 1 Alex Werner From: Alex Werner Sent: 14 September 2017 14:36 To: ' Subject: RE: Whitechapel fatberg Hi , Yes thanks to your colleagues we have solved most of the issues. Our aim is to collect a section of the fatberg from your depot at Beckton/Stratford (can't remember what your colleague said). Our conservation staff are investigating how to store and display the sample. Hopefully, a bit of public information has gone out to Londoners to take more care of what they pour down the sink and flush down the lavatory! We did not expect the story to go global though. Regards Alex From: Sent: 14 September 2017 14:15 To: Alex Werner < Subject: RE: Whitechapel fatberg Hi Alex My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I think you have managed to solve this issue already through other channels, but drop me a line if that's not the case and I will point you in the right direction. Regards From: Alex Werner Sent: 12/09/2017 15:29 To: Subject: Re: Whitechapel fatberg Dear I was astonished to read about this new fatberg. For some time, we have followed the way that Londoners abuse the drainage system rather than disposing of waste in bins. The museum is interested in acquiring a sample of the Whitechapel fatberg for its collection. Would this be possible? I am sure that our conservation staff would be able to find a safe method of storing it and displaying it here at the museum. It would fit in well with our current display 'The City is Ours' which examines the challenges facing cities today and in the future. 1 http: //www.museumoflondon.org. uk/ museu m-london /whats-on/ exhibitions /the-city-ls-ours I look forward to hearing from you.
