Default Massive free give-away from water company

My water company is Sutton & East Surrey Water.I received the bill & they have a fantastic offer.If you sign up for direct debit ONE,yes ONE!!! household can win up to
£250 to pay their bill.

Their generosity knows no bounds!

This company made £17m in profits & paid just £1m tax due to tax avoidance.
Basically, they borrow massive amounts from their parent company & offset the loan against tax.It's explained here;

It would be funny if it wasn't true.

In the South West we're being 'given' £50 a year for the next few years. IIRC it's because the government agrees it's unfair for the local residents to pay for the water the tourist use when they visit. But still, £250, you must be jumping for joy!

These things really make me laugh just like Who wants to be a millionaire competition, the phone line is £1.50 per minute, it wont take many f**ktards calling in for them to generate the winnings for the next few shows!

I've often wondered what it was you were drinking.

Just kidding.

Is it your own well or a communal one? Do you have to have it checked from time to time , is it an old one and does it ever dry up?

Sounds great to have your own supply.Sure would be nice to have free water as I remember when it was free too everyone & it still narks me paying for it..

Quite chuffed that my Anglian fresh water bill came in at £249 for the year on Saturday. No bloody prize giveaways though
