Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

The reason water costsis the infrastructure involved in getting it to you. Watertight pipes and facilities to get the "noxious chemicals" out of the water don't come free.
Why not collect rainwater then either drink it (it's not that bad, at least not up where I am) or collect it & boil it then drink it.
And you have to pay the TV license. If you tell them to go away, they come back with the police. Who have a bit of paper negating your right to tell them to bugger off. You'd be far better off getting rid of your TV since there's nothing good on then inviting them round to let them know you don't have a TV. That way you don't need to buy a TV license or replaced a kicked in front door.
Edit: Bugger. Beaten by 3 others.
