Thames Water hypocrits?

[Hawkeye Pierce]

I understand from a friend that BBC Radio Berkshire has had listeners view Thames Water powerwashing the front of their building. Bet they won't prosecute themselves for using a non-essential hose during a hosepipe ban!

Maybe they were using northern water... y'know, a bit like when you nick your neighbour's wireless connection... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's true !

Ha! It's true! BJR IS a Daily Mail reader! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

I presume a hosepipe ban applies to domestic garden use only, and not to industrial or commercial use like wot a jet washing firm is.

 

However and notwithstanding, it is grossly - almost unbelievably - tactless and provocative of these twerps to do such a thing, not to mention morally dubious.

 

I can't figure out why, if water companies are commercial profit-making ventures, when they fail to supply the goods and services they still expect to be paid. There's a shortage of tinned cat food in Tesco lately, but they don't still charge me for the stuff even though they haven't got any!

You Enfield Heros had better get down to your club and tell them they can't water your pitch!

I bet they have exemption as well!
