In the same time period there was a slogan: "The solution to pollution is dilution" meaning throw it in the river and it will get diluted away in the flow.

If this is over done, you can get things like the Cuyahoga river catching fire:

The ecology of natural organisms was probably not doing too well in these parts.A dilution approach will work up to a limit, of what the environment receiving the dumping can handle. It will also depend on the nature of what is dumped. Toxins are worse than sewage (biodegradable).

A greater awareness of environmental consequences did not develop much (as public policy) until something like the 1970's.
The first Earth day was in 1970. The Nixon also made the EPA in 1970.

So does that mean UK computers are full of crisps?

As a beginner long hair haver during the pandemic, I can say that it would not be worth it to attempt to turn the hat around due to the effort that will be required to put your hair back in a configuration where it stays out of your face.
