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)

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
