Just had my annual demand with menaces from Thames Water for the coming year, I was shocked at how expensive it's become. Still, luckily I was watching TV yesterday and noticed there's someone who can supply a whole village for two quid a month. Time to switch supplier I think.

Still think it's pretty cheap actually. For clean cheap drinking water. Decent filter and jobs a goodun. Not paying for premium "bottled peckham spring thank you". Though the 2 quid a month comment made me chuckle.🤣

Plenty about to arrive in a garden near you. Patience is it's own reward.

Just wait until you get your "demand with menaces" from our local, super efficient council.
Winging ts way to you shortly!! rolleyes.gif
Yet another above inflation increase on top of a green bin charge and little to show for it.
No alternative supplier either. If you don't pay you go to prison!
