OP - let me spell out for you what the other posters are hinting at. You registered on the forum TODAY and you start a post with 7 paragraphs praising a local hairdresser.


You can call us a bunch of cynics if you like but on the forum there is a history of people registering for the sole purpose of bigging up their own business/service/shop and we don't really like that.


You may be a great new forumite - in which case - very sorry, welcome to the forum, nice to meet you. But sorry hon, starting off eyebrows just get raised when people register and then immediately start threads about how good such and such a business is. Have a look at this howler from earlier in the week.

Horizon has deleted his posts now but you get the gist.


I hope you're genuine though and if so welcome to the forum.

No offence BoTB - I'm not accusing you of anything so need to defend yourself. It's just that you seemed confused by the initial response to the thread and I'm just pointing out why. The forum is cynical of new joiners bigging up particular businesses/services. That's all.
Yes I know but the lady did just register today. I saw the way the thread was going and I just wanted to explain why because if someone is genuine and they register and put a recommendation and get strange responses then they're going to be confused and think "why did I bother". I've no reason to believe the lady isn't genuine and I really hope she is but she was getting some odd responses and I just wanted to say WHY. That's all.

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
