Hi Les

You are right of course - profit today and don't worry about tomorrow. That was the Thatcher theme....

The cost of water has multiplied more than almost anything else since privatisation and what have we got for it ??? two fifth's of F..K all !!

The North West have been on to United Utilities ( our supplier ) for years to improve the stock-holding of water by creating more reserves.
Nothing !!!

A recent estimate concluded that UU are losing enough water every day that would cater for 6 MILLION users. That is through leakage of the already stored water reserves.

At least the tories can't blame Gordon Brown for this one....lol

As for my Water Water "quote" it was from Tommy Steele's song not from from Samuel Coleridge Taylor. Thought it more appropriate in this context....lol

The song actually said Water Water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

cheers
