My gripe is Londoners pay less for their un-metered water than we do with Thames Water,. :fit:
If they actually repaired pipes there would be far less wasted. |

It'll be interesting to see what burden of proof the water companies will rely upon if court cases result. I'd imagine they'd issue warnings first then target anyone reported after being warned try to obtain pictures or video footage. Quote:

Re: How stupid is the water ban
I overheard 2 blokes discussing the water shortage this morning, and one made what he obviously regarded as a well thought-out statement:
"They just need a big pipeline from Scotland to Essex, no need to pump it as it's all downhill from Scotland to Essex." :dunce::dunce::dunce: |

it probably wood be expensive before the oil industry built pipe from humber to hemel hempstead it was all transported by fleet of tanker lorries. I wonder how much it cost them to do it this way. Another solution link each resevior to each one be able to pump it refil when low from one area to other. It would cost but dont think any solution cheap |

Re: How stupid is the water ban
In the area's where you live, count how many car washers there are that are using pressure guns.
Most of these places are opening up all the time, some of them could be illegal traders as a form of making money, yes there is a law stating that cars must have clean VRM plates and lights, but is it fair that these car washers are throwing away gallons of preceouse water while will be have to abide by the law. |
