The main problem with water supply and use in the UK is the vastly
disproportionate number of people living in the driest areas. About
half the population of the UK lives within 60 miles of Charing Cross.

My water bill has just plopped through my letterbox. £983.

If, as I read, the national average is in the £350 region, before anyone
pumps or otherwise moves any of our water to the idiots who huddle
together in the parched south, it would be good to see the south paying
their bit.

I've posted about this before. Yes, I should change to a water meter and
yes, I know I shouldn't have hung up when I rang to enquire and got so
annoyed by the system.
