The internet, and certainly Forums are just like a great big pub and I remember when there used to be locals way before internet there were always several nutters and even relatively normal looking regulars believed a whole load of wild speculative shite that they continually peddalled as FACT


I remember a on the face of it normal mate at University telling me that we were all about to get conscripted for the Falklands as it was Thatcher's plan to reduce youth unemployment and bring back discipline and he knew cos he had an Uncle who was 'something' in the Foreighn Office.


This sort of nonsesne is just peddalled around so quickly now and people just take it as gospel too often

    • Sorry to hear that.  Whether it works out cheaper depends entirely on the amount of water you use. You used to be able to work out via a calculation on Thames Water's website whether it would work out cheaper in your particular situation, to decide whether or not to have a meter installed. I don't know whether you still can, but once you've had it installed it's probably too late, although I think it used to be that you could change back to the old billing system if the meter wasn't saving you money?
    • I got a water meter installed last year. I was told it would work out cheaper but it has turned out to be more expensive (we are only a 2 person household). I would hold off getting a meter wherever possible. 
    • Before privatisation people paid for water  through water rates. How do you think it could be provided free? Do you think larger families should also not pay for the full amount of the gas and electricity they use, because they've been "hard hit by many increasing bills"? You started this thread to ask for advice on your increased water bill, and appeared to think it was because you were being charged according to a meter which had been installed by Thames Water although you hadn't requested it. Several people have given you advice and information which hopefully was useful. So what was the outcome of your call to Thames Water? As for your jibe about single people living in 3 bedroom houses (I am one of them, though the "third bedroom" is an extremely small office) "disadvantaging families by taking up more space than needed", you have no idea of people's background and circumstances and how they came to be in that situation. In any case, what on earth has that got to do with your water meter, and why shouldn't I have a spare bedroom for when my family  and grandchildren come and stay?
    • You deleted the part of your post saying you are not charging people to read your reviews of their local restaurants.
