have been without water since early morning - cannot see anyone from Thames Water working on the situation.  Any one heard any news as to when normal service will resume?

 

Have you reported it to Thames Water?

If nobody has, they may not be aware that there is  a problem?

Chatgpt is a joy (and scary) 

No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry)

(Verse 1)
No water… on Barry Road
No water… on Barry Road
Said, I remember, when we used to flow
In the tap by the old front gate
Oba served us clear, sweet water
Then it vanished like fate

And then the plumber would come in the evening
Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight"
But every time we checked the faucet
It was still a dusty fight

(Chorus)
No water… (no water)
On Barry Road (on Barry Road)
No water… yeah
On Barry Road

(Verse 2)
I see the buckets lined up outside
Hope in every pail we hold
The sun be blazing, the kids be crying
And the kettle’s running cold

Good friends we had, and good friends we lost
To the drought along the way
In this bright future, we can't forget the past
But we sure need water today

(Chorus)
No water… no flowin’ tide
On Barry Road… we stand and sigh
No water… but we still survive
On Barry Road… we still try

(Bridge)
Oh, dry days will pass, I know
Pipe dreams gotta start to flow
But until then we wait and pray
For rain or trucks to come our way

(Final Chorus)
No water… (no water)
On Barry Road (on Barry Road)
No water… no pride
But still we rise…

(It refused to sing it for me)

    • So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?
    • No. What happened? I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from  fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm? Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones. Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
    • The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year  at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream." If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter. The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub. At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream. Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many  decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings. Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
