I don't know how Southern Water can have the nerve to put any prices up but then again I suppose they've got to pay for their serial pollution fines somehow.

Christ, with inflation heading for 7% you are going to be posting one hell of a lot of these bloomin obvious bulletins! What is surprising is it's not more!

Daylight robbery especially when raw sewage is being pumped into the sea and rivers.

Just to upset some on here, I knew we imported the chemicals for water purification from Europe, but when I mentioned it a few years back, it was project fear.

Sorry, not sorry!

1.7% is way below general inflation, staff will get pay rises, that’s modest by their standards.

In 1994 I paid Southern Water £14 per month, in real terms that’s now £30.

In reality now paying £60!

I might one day look at their units prices.

Southern Water live in their own world, a classic monopoly. OFWAT listen to the “investment/stopping leaks” spiel and rubber stamp the never ending price rises.

Boo. Water should be free unless you are a company using shitload of it.
