Privatisation of infrastructure, eh?If I had a water meter installed I'd save money. But I won't have one, on principle. Water is not a commodity, nor should be it be sold like one. Fortunately I earn enough to indulge my principles so I can pay the annual standing charge.
Then again, if I did get a water meter, I could ignore any hosepipe ban with impunity. "Fuck you. It's my water, I paid for it. I can do what I like with it."

Water is *not* a commodityI can survive without commodities. I'd find it a tad difficult to survive without water. You know, what with my body being 70% made up of the stuff (or whatever the percentage is.)
