A new El-Reg unit?

I just noticed this in today's Guardian Coronavirus/Politics blog:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/apr/27/uk-coronavirus-live-news-boris-johnson-back-at-work-amid-talk-of-easing-lockdown

A foul clump of wet wipes and other unflushable items as heavy as a rottweiler has been dragged from a Thames Water sewer, as the number of blockages the company has to deal with has increased by 8% during lockdown.

The grim 40kg bundle had snarled up a temporary pipe in Maidenhead, Berkshire, where Thames Water, the UK’s largest water and wastewater company, has been repairing a collapsed sewer.

Should the Rottweiler be included in the official list of El-Reg weights and measures? - 1 Rottweiler = 40kg of foul stuff apparently.

The feral kitten babysitter here at Chez jake is near enough as makes no nevermind 60 kilos (130ish pounds), and wishes to lodge a complaint. He says he is neither foul, nor is he grim.
