Ho hum. Another load of arses to kick. So where are we going to have some fun this time? Wonder how far I'll have to travel for THIS hearing.This lot have got among the leakiest pipes in the country so I'm wondering if, to make it sound less, they will quote their leaks as (a) millions of litres per day (unlikely) (b) number of cubic metres per day (c) litres per household per day or (d) not mention it at all and hope we don't notice.
As a strategic solution, ther government needs to ensure that water can be drawn from somewhere in the southeast or there is going to be mega trouble. If I'm stopped from trading eventually, I'm up for civil disobedience as a first resort. It can start by making sure their phonelines are totally blocked by being inundated with calls. I honestly feel that picketing the water companies' head offices is a reasonable option here.
