I despair at what companies can get away with regarding the basics :evil:

Re: Welsh Water should sell its water 'like oil' during hosepipe

A little North East from where I am now is Lake Vernwy which supplies water to Liverpool, which I believe is in England...

A few years ago there were reports about the huge losses of water just transporting it locally. I could imagine that one might start off with a reservoir of water in North Wales and only have a cupful left when it got to London

Water isn't a commodity like oil - it's a necessity. Hence IMO it shouldn't be taxed and should be profit-neutral.

If you want Welsh water then move to Wales.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Now there's an export market for the Scots when they get independence.

How about we just do something about the gross over-population in South-East England?

Most of England is sparsely populated and rural (not to mention Scotland and Wales), not sure how the rest of the UK is over-populated?
