Oh and yes they'll be mailing us in the summer telling you to piss in a bucket, so you can water the dahlias because there's a hose pipe, when there's a year's supply of water running down the road. #yorkshirewater

My heart sank earlier turning the tap in the kitchen and seeing the lower water pressure and sure enough on my walk just now the water main down the lane has fractured again. This is the 4-5th time this has happened in 5 years. The main cause #YorkshireWater shareholders greed

#Ofwat is a disgrace and 35% price increase - leading to inflationary outcomes - next year should be a call to parliament frankly.

And that’s not even talking about the state of our waterways
