HI all

My next door neighbour is not happy that I have gone over to WFP. He thinks its too much water that I am using . He is  complaining and trying, it seems to get severn trent on to me and have me put me on a meter. On average I use between 600 and 700 litres of water per week.

Can he do this any help please 

[Alex Wingrove]

haha

cant you store a tank somewhere else away from him

[Sir Squeaky]

Glad I get my water from someone else.

[jeff1]

Yes he can do it, its called grassing, go around and slap him talk to him and explane its your living, what ever you do don't tell him about the waste

Thanks alex

[Alex Wingrove]

haha

sorry i just help but laugh


i know the type of person he is, tell him you will clean his windows for free!

but if he doesnt well, i dunno think of someway to pay him back like a bomb scare

[Pole2pole]

I don't often reply much nowdays but the only advice i can offer you bud is to tell ya neighbour to f*@* off and mind his own business. Nosey tw*t. I'm sure if you looked into his life,ie the size of the engine of his car, the amount of water he squanders on a daily basis, the energy he wastes leaving lights on etc etc, you'd realize that he's no saint either.
And as has been mentioned before on this site,water has this wonderful knack of travelling full circle over time. Evaporates,rains,evaporates,rains. Not rocket science. Bloody wooly lefties :-)

if he is going to be difficult ,go to severn trent tell them what your doing pay the bill and claim it back off your tax .
then tell him to shove it
jobsworths do my head in .
then make his life a missery .

Don't you just love nieghbours who just seem to have nothing better to do than stick their noses into yours and your custies business.

I haven't yet had probs with my nieghbours but I have with with some of my customer's nieghbours and I'm still trad so it should prove interesting when I switch over.

I'm on a meter though so I will be paying for my water (if there's any to pay for).

This won't help with your neighbour, but if your custy's or there neighbours start to moan about the amount of water you use, do what I do and just tell them I have a well at the bottom of my garden, and I pay the £1,500 Extraction license fee's, this is a genuine price for water extraction from a well

i think he is going to know if he has a well or not

[Tosh]

Cat,

I think, to be honest that we need a license for purifying water and we should be on a business water tariff.

I'd just keep quiet if I were you!

As for your neighbor's reaction,... why?

HI tosh

As for my neighbor's reaction I do not know why
I have all ways been a good neighbor to him but you can not please them all.....

[simon knight]

Even if the w@anker does grass you to severn trent there's F all they can do about it. You pay yer water rates and can use as much as you like for what ever purpose you like.

Also tell him to f##k off and mind his own stinking business.

I think the nosey [self edited noun] needs a good squirting.

As usual Jeff is right he can grass you up, tread carefully.

When we moved some years ago we on to a meter for the first time. Our bills were lower and it was a lot cheaper. We told our business neighbpours, who despite being well todo were/are very penny pinching and tight. My wife enjoyed telling them we were saving money, eventually taking the bills in because they were disbelieved.

Anyway, the tight git did go on a meter, but amongst the bumpf when he was reading up on it he spotted that if you have a swimming pool you mustbe on a meter(it's an offence). He knew that his neighbour who was forever lending him things and helping him out in various ways, A had a swimming pool, and B didn't have a meter. You can guess the rest.

The same couple had an aupair once, his wife used to go into her room and read her diary when she was out so they would know what she was up to and thinking.'today I had a bath in the big green bath it was lovely and hot."
In the school holidays they made her take their son (about 9 at the time) into town (liecester) and go to  McDonalds, except that she had make sandwichs for herself and eat them while the kid tucked in.

[Clive McDonald]

I'm on a meter now, but haven't really had a bill that would tell me anything. From other threads I believe that if you use 1000litres it costs about£2.

Matt has some figures I think. So if you do go onto a meter it is not the end of the world.

This undoubtedly stems from jealousy, you are obviously succesfull (great) but some people can't stand it.(he's on about 50k a year and he's only a window cleaner.The other thing to warn you about is that these things don't stop there(I've been there tax vat, trading standards counterfeit goods employing underage). So what I'm saying is don't go on a meter and try and wind him up about saving you money, because he will already be looking for his next opportunity.
