| Summary: | honey The people of Blackhead Road do not have a sewer system and rely on the city council of St. John's to collect natural body wastes. The people place pails outside their doors at night and it is someone's task to empty these into a tank and then into the St. John's sewerage treatment plant. The people of Blackhead Road call these pails "honey buckets" and the poor unfortunate who has to collect them is known as the "honey comb kid".
