Oh dear, I thought conspiracy theories were left to transport section Water companies by law have to manage drinking water resources and promote/deliver efficient use. Water meters are one way of helping to achieve this. We, like most on water meters, have saved money doing this. Whist we use a bath, we do not water the grass and use grey water and water butts to water the plants. We do not have a swimming pool, do have a water saving toilet, and whether we choose to flush it for number 1s is our business! What's not to like?

The leak happened some time after we had switched and Thames Water not only replaced our lead pipe, to the boundary with the house, but discounted our bills to normal during the time of the leak No fan of the company, the wastage of water through the ageing system, illegal discharges of sewage, the continual big leaks and roadworks, the business model and the privatasation of this and the other utilities.

I saw a three or four your old chasing them, and foolishly told him to stop rather than tell the parents. I got a how dare you tell our child what to do. How dare you let your child run amok when there are signs telling you not to do this. etc etc Oh dear I have turned into my father.
