I did not think we could, but lately I have been getting a series of increasingly arse licking emails from my water company, telling me how much they value my custom and how hard they work on my behalf and no end of similar grovelling missives.
So is this brown nosing campaign because they are about to loose their monopoly or are they just born brown nosers?

Don't worry, they'll put the cost of the letters onto the next bill.

I can pay someone to carry water from my local river but getting rid of waste water might be more problematic.

What? You don't have universal water supply like we civilized colonists do?

This might explain things. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_the_United_KingdomHere in London we have Thames Water who cover everything as far as I know. If you don’t pay your bills you won’t get cut off but you might lose some expensive goods when they send the bailiffs around. |

I once had a friend who was permanently at odds with his girl friend, so he spent most of his life living in his garden shed.
One day I noticed that his compost heap was steaming, which does not happen unless you add animal waste.
How, I cried, had he performed this miracle?
Easy, he replied. The shed did not have any indoor plumbing

I can do that now but it might get tricky if I ever move into a high rise. |
