Problems with Thames Water-run sewers from recent rains force pupils at £46,000-a-year school to learn remotely
Eton college has been forced to delay the start of school term after the toilets in its boarding houses backed up because of flooding in the Thames Water sewers caused by recent heavy rains.
The £46,000-a-year private school apologised to parents, saying pupils would begin the year learning remotely online, after the water company informed it of the issue.
