All the more reason to meter a resource that people might
otherwise be tempted to squander. (The average person probably
uses 100 times more water - directly in his house - than he
actually needs to live.)

That would make sense if there was a shortage of the stuff. This
has to be about the wettest country in the world.

So why are they running out in the South-east?

Incompetence.



You can still get droughts on small islands (who then have to
import it via
ships).

We get droughts in the UK simply because we get a lot of rain
(and therefore
don't bother to build big enough reservoirs). And piping water
all over the
country is expensive; we'd all have to pay for it.

It's not like we pay much for water compared to electrocity and
gas. I pay £161.92 a YEAR for water.

I used to pay £440 a year, that was for just me in the house, and I
was away half the time. Now I pay much less with a meter.

I'm not on a meter. But then Scotland has a LOT of water. Even
incompetent water boards can get enough of it.

Crying shame that it's wasted on idiot loo tenants.

Ooooh aren't you clever, you split a word into two!!!! We'll let you
read the books without the pictures in soon.

Please don't send me your old one's, they'll be covered in drool.
