Yes thanks chazzle - you obviously have more patience than me - much appreciated. I'm also based in that area so sounds like probably little point in hassling them too as they are working on it.


Will report on whether it has worked when I get back from work. Really hoping to be able to have a warm shower tomorrow morning!


Thanks

The Thames Water incident map also shows a large area from the top end of Lordship Lane (Library up towards Forest Hill) which is said to have no water/low pressure due to faulty equipment and leaks, both of which are being worked on. Not sure if that would also affect the rest of SE22.

No water here yesterday and earlier today which was quickly established to be just this flat. I don't know if this is relevant to your situ, charmanar but we now have water after a DIY solution involving a tarpaulin, an extension cable and a fan heater pointed at the wall where the supply enters the flat. Pipes are buried in the wall.....wall warmed up bit by bit.....water was restored! The pressure is a bit weak at the moment, but I think that's the leak on LL reported above.

So spamming on Twitter and Facebook seems to have more luck than calling - still no water at top of Lordship Lane since Tuesday.


Received this from TW today "You may have a water supply issue if you live in SW16, SE15, SE19, SE21, SE22, SE23, SE25, SE26 and SE27 areas. The Crystal Palace boosters aren't working as they should and we're on our way to investigate. If you'd like regular text updates please provide your mobile number."


Registered for updates so will keep posted as and when I receive them. In the meantime I think social media complaining is more likely to get a response.

Yep. If they don't respond on Twitter, many people see that.


If they don't answer the phone (but to be fair, they must be inundated with calls at the moment plus possibly staff haven't been able to get to work) only the caller knows.


Plus possibly whoever runs Twitter could work from home if necessary.

Probably your boiler's condensation pipe (which runs outside) is frozen up. It should have a warning light on it, though you might have to google for a manual to find out what they mean.


If it is, then a few kettles of hot water should melt it.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
