Sid Tempest a.k.a. “Cesspool Sid” Sid, Horncastle's number one cesspool emptier, has been doing his somewhat unglamorous job for over thirty years. Today he tells Liz Fawden about life emptying cesspools and the characters and the hilarious stories of some of the characters he has met.

This interview was recorded in 1999. Sadly Sid passed away in 2001.
