The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) was due to bring its monster made of wet wipes to Cornwall for a joint event today with South West Water to show the public why bathroom habits can be bad for the beach.

Both organisations have been running campaigns to highlight that flushing anything but the 3Ps - pee, poo and paper - down the loo can lead to blocked drains resulting in pollution on beaches and in the sea.

However, the event in Newquay today has been cancelled because of the weather.
