    Thames Valley area

    Just FYI: Thames water covers a larger population than that. Much of London is not technically in the Thames valley.

    EDIT: I’ll add. It’s anecdotal, as I can’t remember when or where I read it. But I seem to remember a Thames water complaint a good while back. That much of the older London area they cover has not been worked on for over 100 years. And is listed such that the cost is beyond them.

    Not sure if I buy it given modern techniques etc. But I’m no expert.

      You’re absolutely right. Thames water claim 16 million customers, so that brings it down to a much more manageable £14,375 per customer, based on us getting shafted equally.

        Huge saving. LOL, a bit like saying don’t worry your only going to die of a bullet, we save the rockets for the big boys.
