Digging into their web page a bit, I can see this error under the hood;

In other words Thames Water, for their public, customer-facing live problems website, are relying on the free quota that google offer for using their maps service on your website. This is what you do when you have a little hobby website. To see a supposedly professional utility company doing this tells you a lot about their level of competence...or not.

    • My phone got stolen last night - is anyone selling a fairly recent iphone (iphone 13-15)? I need a new-ish one, but not brand new as I can't afford it! If anyone has anything, please do let me know!
    • Lost a set of keys at the east Dulwich grove townley intersection this morning around 8h15. They have a white square key ring.
    • Definitely a couple of swifts flying high above Fellbrigg Road occasionally this morning.
    • I just remember sticky labels rather than badges, but I didn't go to all of the drinks.  Floppy disk labels?! How old are they?! Are they still sticky?!   I think they were just sticky labels which people wrote their own names on? Or at least whatever name they were willing to divulge (though it's a bit odd if they didn't want to say what their forum names were, as I thought the whole point was to meet forum members in the flesh and put faces to forum names!) I know what you mean re cringe, but I don't remember faces/names, which obviously can appear very rude (I have recently discovered it's an actual thing which other people have too) so for people like me labels save embarrassment.
