To eff and bloody blind about SE Water

[twistytwin]

I know I’m not unreasonable, but I am so sick of the unbelievable incompetence of them. No running water now for five days. Five days! I’m losing my mind.

Any tips for creating a decent shower out of the shitty plastic mineral water bottles they think are an acceptable substitute for mains water would be gratefully received

I fully agree that something should be done, whether that is government intervention or anything like that. I feel rotten if I can't wash.

I'd be looking at a camping shower.

In the meantime though, the ordinary glycolic acid helps to rid of any smell-causing bacteria and k18s airwash is the best dry shampoo I've ever used. It wants to be for the price, mind you.

Failing the above, is there anyone else's house you could go to for a wash? When I was a kid, we had no water for about 2 weeks and my mum had to send us to our aunts to get washed.

SE Water are truly appalling. There were households in the Tunbridge Wells area who were without water for over a fortnight at the end of last year.

Although I'm glad to be in a Southern Water area, they're not much better, but they mostly fuck up by pumping untreated sewage into the rivers and sea and wasting shedloads in leaks. A year or two ago there was a leak in Hastings that was spouting like Old Faithful for days on end.

They both need to be renationalised, without compensation.

@twistytwin I really hope you’ve got it back now
