EU to flush your money down your toilet?
One of the benefits of being on a UKIP mailing list is such delightful
snippets as these http://www.euractiv.com/climate-envi...to-news-531374 Less 'Part P', and more 'part-pee'.. "Further down, the minutes of one of the expert group meetings singles out the following €śkey findings€ť: that €śtoilet seats/covers are not really related to the product function€ť; that €śtoilet seats/covers are often sold separately€ť from the main €śproduct€ť; and that €śthere is a high variability in consumers choice for toilet seats/covers€ť. Experts have agreed that two €śkey elements€ť appear to affect the water consumption of flushing toilets and urinals: their design and the user behaviour. Regarding user behaviour and €śbased on the discussions with stakeholders€ť, the experts have decided to set the average flush volume as "the arithmetic average of one full flush volume and three reduced flush volumes". Wow. I bow to the mighty EU! who would have known that! Or come up with such a daring solution! Or didn't they think that with most homes equipped with water meters and spiralling costs, we shouldn't already not be flushing more than we had to? And they wonder why UKIP membership is increasing faster than its declining in the other parties.... -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |
