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)

    • I'd support fining any tourist wearing a 'I ❤️ London' t-shirt, 'University of Oxford' sweatshirt or Union Jack bobble hat.
    • I noticed more butterflies than ever this year - lots of red admirals and white ones. Couldn't understand why, then found this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/18/big-butterfly-count-uk-numbers-recovery
    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
