Thames Water


Sue

Recommended Posts

Yet again, for about the zillionth time, we have Thames Water apparently digging up Ulverscroft Road.


At 10.30 on Saturday night.


Anybody know what's going on, and why they didn't sort the problem the many times they have dug up the same bit of road before?


:(


ETA: Just been to ask them.


"It's a hundred year old main."


Yes so why don't you replace it or do a repair which lasts more than a few weeks? Wouldn't that be more cost effective than keep having to send out people every few weeks?


"Yes I agree with you etc etc etc and you should have your water back by the morning".


I just hope the poor expletive deleted who keeps getting his cellar flooded, a few doors down from me, is going to claim enormous amounts of compensation.


Are Thames Water privatised? Disgraceful.

I'm talking about a situation where the same bit of road is constantly being dug up because a resident's cellar is being flooded.


I'm not talking about a number of unrelated leaks.

"Where will this end?!"


That's a bit dramatic isn't it? It's a change from: "Thames Water" to "Thames Water (digging up Ulverscroft Road)"


We've done it for years, heck we even say in the terms " We also reserve the right to edit ... postings ... usually the title to make it more relevant".


Sorry if you don't like it and less people look at your post but it does help other forum users, and that is what is important to the moderators.

You may have done it for years, but I (and others) have noticed that it appears to have been done a lot more frequently of late!


But the thing is, it seems a bit random which headings are edited to make them more relevant and which aren't.


As your terms were last updated in May of this year, I have no idea how long they may have included the part about editing the title!


Anyway, glad if it helps people, of course. It never crossed my mind it would affect who read the post!

For clarity I don't think my PM to Admin was me telling Admin ,but me expressing my opinion about someone else's thread


"Well it's always going to be a matter of opinion but my point is that the thread was to my mind - and who knows as it was Sue who wrote it - about Thames Water ."


Personally I think the thread should stay in the main section - it may be commenting on Thames Water's performance ( generically )but it is also commenting on that performance in East Dulwich specifically and how it affects residents there .


But I'm not actually a fan of splitting hairs about threads qualifying for ED section or Lounge .

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
