Reply | Drainage help?
at 21:49 29 Jul 2025
If its only occurring during heavy rainfall is it a case of lack of capacity to manage the incoming flow and overload the system, and or something restricting the network to prevent flow getting away? Presumably AW checked this out with cameras and popping manholes? Could you get hold of any plans from the council or ask neighbours if they know anymore about the land drain and where it goes (apologies you already done this). Does any of the effluent/rainwater enter a watercourse at all? What's a land drain mean to you - a below ground soak away or a ditch, or some kind of SUDS system? |

Media already announcing Ofwat is being scrapped, I d like to see a merge of all 3 water regulators- Ofwat, EA and DWI,can't see why they won't do that tbh given their similarities and some overlap.Going to take at least a decade to fix just given the sheer amount of engineering improvements and maintenance that's needed to bring things up to current regs let alone future proof (and aside of the cost of this to bill payers, there's no supply chain and skills out there to do it much quicker I don't think). Think there's a valid argument in failings and decisions made by the regulators overtime naturally but they've only worked to the direction and the resources given by government and the legislation set in parliament to follow (which hasn't changed substantially sine privatisation until the recent special measures act). These have facilitated a culture,behaviour in companies that have led them to sweat assets to death and judge their risk against profit not the environment/ morally right thing to do and enable a sector that shrugs it shoulders,rolls it's eye and plans in for fines and punishment over prevention (then green washes as much as possible ). I think the gov has waited for the review just so further down the line when customers have to pay for this again they can say the review caused some of this rather than the blinding obvious that's been known to the public over the last few years. |

Reply | 30m release clause for Delap when we go down
at 16:26 9 Apr 2025
Maybe that's the only way of getting him to sign with us to start with last Summer if the release clause was not astronomical. The media seem to think he had plenty of other admirers when we signed him. Maybe the release clause tipped the balance to us (and a call from Ed)? |

Went to one in Peterborough last week and (without asking about price) the assistant immediately said everything with a white price tag on it had an extra 10-20% off . Smelt of desperation to sell anything, I bought stuff on my credit card incase they go under before it arrives. They do give free coffee and warm cookies if you show a small amount of interest [Post edited 5 Apr 10:22]

Thread | BBC sounds - hooligans
at 13:25 19 Mar 2025
Been listening to these 7 x 30 min shows. Really insightful,going into it was rolling my eyes thinking but much more of the glorification of hooliganism like films,books and shows before on this (especially as it was narrated by an ex boxer). However it gave a far more mature and balanced view than I d heard for a while from various different sides to it all. Recommended listening. |

Not where,but when. MSE said on radio 5 recently that you get your cheapest quote 26 days before it's due. He explained that they graphed out 14 million quotes and this was the cheapest date(though anytime from 18-28 days was basically cheapest aside a few quid relatively). The logic from the companies is that if you are sorting out insurance nearly a month before it's due then you are more likely to be organised and less likely to do silly things in a car (accidentally ordered on purpose) so a lower risk of claiming. In their opinion,those getting insurance a lot nearer the due date are more likely to be risk takers and so a higher risk of claiming, and so the quote goes up quite a lot nearer the date it's due to cover the risk. All this was on radio 5 about a week ago,around midday. |

Feels like villa getting a bit Chelseaesque with signings and transfer business. They bought him back cheaply (13mill?) and less than our bid due to their own sell on clause then I think will just either loan out and sell in the summer for a profit. Think they view buying him back (albeit a lot more than what sold him for a year ago - 5 mill?) as an easy way to make money eg they know he's worth least 18 mill as that's what w bid for him etc. |

It's for investors to pick up the fines as when ofwat set our bills every 5 years they don't make allowance for any fines. Not sure how investors would do that as not anything I understand but I did read recently investors across the water sector had received 11 billion so on that I think they can afford this pittance in fines in comparison. |

Recently announced water (special measures) bill should help avoid this in the future banning bonuses under certain conditions and ring fencing our customer money for upgrades. They continue to get away with it until then |
