Apparently £15 will provide the average African Family clean water for life. Whatever you do, don't tell the people of Kent.

Did you know there is a massive water pipe connecting England with France, it runs through the Channel Tunnel. Could the French owners of our water company be exporting our water?

When you flush your toilet or empty a bath where do you think the water goes, yes back to the sewage works, then the water treatment plant and then back to you. The more that Britain is covered in concrete the more water will run into surface water drains, then foul sewers and then as above. But less will end up in groundwater.

Ah but they've got Victorian Water Pipes. How much of today's Britain was built in in Victorian Times? How much of that has been demolished and rebuilt? I don't think they recycled the pipes.

Water tables are falling, in some area and rising in others. Because of the ingress of saline ground water some aquafers have had to be abandoned as the water is polluted.

Is this all a cynical ploy to re-position water as a product. Perhaps we can look forward to a situation in the future where Water is advertised heavily in the media, maybe you will have a choice of to whom you pay your  bill, just like gas, electricity etc.

Just a rant in the rain.
