Making a special trip to PO collections at Westlea to get something that was "oversized" and could not be delivered. Turns out to be a "freebie" from Thameswater to help me "save" in 2014. Save what? Water? Simple, turn of the tap when brushing your teeth etc etc. Going right back as an RTS package. GGGRRRRR.
Funny you should say that, I got an attachment for my shower a few years back and it saved fuck loads of water. |

Some little shit has nicked my trainers from the radiator outside our office. Not sure why as they were wet, and muddy from this morning.

They probably didn't want wet/muddy trainers stinking the place out.

I fell for it and opened the box in the end, carefully so I could send it back. Rubber gloves and a sticker to check if your cistern leaked into the toilet bowl. An egg timer for four minutes use in the shower. And a reuse able hessian back (how the fuck that saves water I'll never know) so there you have it. How do you know you saved "fuck loads of water?" Other than checking your annual use age and what do you consider to be "fuck loads?" |

Save water by....
Shower once a week, or take a bottle of shower gel out into the garden when it's pissing down.
Wash clothes less often
Disposable paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery
Collect rainwater to wash the car
Only flush the bog when absolutely necessary

It was an attachment that went between the the taps and hose of my shower and also came with a long thin plastic bag. The instructions said to place the shower head in the enclosed bag and see how full it is after a minute. My shower filled the bag in about 10 seconds or so, showing the shower was putting out a lot of water. I added the attachment to the hose and it was only about 3/4 full after a minute and was still decently powerful. I also know it saved water as previously there wasn't enough hot water for 2 showers, now there is. It was certainly a worth while attachment. Your stuff on the other hand just sounds like a waste of money. But then mind was sent by some green do-gooders and not a water company. |

Those shower heads are useless with electric showers though unfortunately.

Like when you've pissed or shat in it ? Do people flush bogs for any other reason ? |

And that's why the sewers are such a state. That and fat that's not been disposed of properly. |

Seriously, that's interesting and I'm pleased you explained it thoroughly rather than take the piss to a serious question. However, they're gonna stuff the fuck out of us if we all suddenly started to use 50% less water because that's what the bill is based on, volumn. |

The majority of your bill is for waste water actually. |
