    Thames Water. Of course.
    Bill received today based on their reading. Usual bill on estimates is about 50m3 per six months very consistently, last actual meter reading about two years ago. This bill states water usage for the last 269 days (9 months) is 603m3, so about eight times normal usage. The bill was £1791 rther than a more usual £190 or so.
    That cant be right, i thought, I'll read it myself. Well, the meter is external down a plastic tube in the verge. I couldnt even find the bloody thing, even though i know where it is. I dug down about three inches to find the top, clearly undisturbed for years. Scraped off the topsoil, scooped out more soil from the tube then bailed out a couple of pints of dirty water at the bottom.
    Got to the meter, which the reading was 514m3 (£1463) less than theirs.
    Took photos, called customer services, apparently somewhere in the arse end of karachi, held for 14 minutes before getting through.
    Vaguely apologetic, asked me to email a photo of the reading without actually providing an address.
    When i checked the TW site for an address there actually isn't one for this purpose, you get referred to a whatsapp acccount that fails to respond to messages. 
    Upshot:  I've updated the meter reading online, cancelled the direct debit and will pelt all and any TW vans with out of date eggs when the eggs have gone out of date. As if there werent enough reasons to hate them already. They seem to have given up entirely, like Rishi.

    My Dad used to say “ The stuff falls out the sky for nothing, then they charge you you to deliver it, then charge you to take the stuff away… the barstards””

    The ads on TV which claim their Broadband is specifically designed for working from home.  HTF does it know that? I can only conclude that there must be millions of people out there researching Pornhub all day.

    I've never had a missus and I was joking.

    Also never been a boy scout, was in the Cubs though.

    Always surprises me they aren't immediately stuffed up the arsehole of the arsehole torturing the eardrums of those around them. 

    Except in a military context where that's clearly not allowed as otherwise the drummers, fife and brass players would all need significant medical assistance with their rectal issues.

    Another of that bitch’s genius ideas to get her mates richer through dividends while we all suffer.

    I adore the way the Scots sing Flower of Scotland at football matches, even more so last night it was rousing.  But, they don't seem to realise that in the penultimate bar there is an F natural NOT an F sharp.  Somebody tell them please.

    Perhaps you could nip over and have a brief coaching session with the crowd of bevied up Hamishes, I bet it would go down swimmingly and they would appreciate the guidance, from a polite and educated Englishman (ps possibly take a crash hat with you).

    Annoying:- most sporting events in the UK seem to have to have an opera singer belting out the National Anthem.

    Pleasing:- they don't seem to do this in the Euros, well done.
