Thumbs down Cheeky c****s!!!!

Someone has sent me something, unsolicited, for my shower.

It's supposed to save me money, but turns out just to be something to cut the flow on the shower!

So I waste money buying a 2bar, or 3bar shower pump, just to have some green wnaker tell me I'm using too much water/energy?

Get to fek!

Idiots arn't they!
A bit like those short-flush toilets from about 15yrs ago. My mum has them and I have to flush about 3 times to get rid of my deposits - so all-in-all probably using more water anyway

We got one some time back..

went in the bin..

How about cutting my water bill, rather than waste it on some piece of landfill
that's not very green..

surely the simplest way of cutting down on water usage is only shower twice a day ;-)

Yup, due to some government scam, er, scheme whereby they can send you free pipe blockers (or low energy mercury death tubes or whatever) to combat "climate change" rather then actually getting their finger out and fixing the millions of gallons that leak out of their pipes every day (you know, as in doing the job that they are supposed to be fecking doing)!

Ahh, flow restrictor was it? Had one inside our new show mixer...binned it, now we have a proper shower (like before).

Also had one in the nozzle for our new kitchen tap...loads of pressure so it sprayed water everywhere (sink, worktop, clothes etc) but when it came to fill the kettle up, it took ages. I removed the nozzle, found said flow restrictor, removed it, and chucked in the bin. We now have a normal kitchen tap again.

Talking about wastage...remember that gas leak I moaned about last week?.....yup its still leaking.

Nope, somewhere in the footpath outside the front of the house.

Had a bloke round tonight with a sniffer to make sure it wasn't getting into the house.
