Cartoon - In a kitchen a woman reads a newspaper with the headline '1000s without water in South East'. In the background is a man turning on a tap with no water flowing. Speaking to someone on the phone he says "Yes, we've been doing Dry January here as well."

Another one from last week. It's chances have dried up along with 1000s of #southeastwater customers.

I wonder if @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @news.sky.com would take as much notice of #SouthEastWater if wasn't impacting on #TunbridgeWells and the very vocal wealthy residents #OFWAT #water #Kent #bbcbreakfast

For those of us who have South East Water as our provider, we still have a hosepipe ban which is very objectionable and goes against the guidance of OFWAT on their website.
