For customers of #SouthWestWater, this will come as no surprise, but in the two years to March 2022, SWW spent more on interest payments & #dividends than it did on maintaining (improving) its infrastructure....
You can decide for yourself whether this in any way contributed to their catastrophic failure of #water supply early this year.
That this included a 'special dividend' approved by #OfWat merely confirms that the regulator(s) have been asleep at the wheel.
@lowqualityfacts Can we set up a GFM and/or petition to force MPs to eat two packets of these before they eat or drink any subsidised food in Parliament, please?
@Cbfoley@Krisss Ha! Not really. It's pleasure rather than skill. Once I've got the tech sorted to upload pics and stuff, I might post them. You'll have to bribe me with a lot of beer though 😂😂
How're you, chick? Not seen you about much this week.
@Krisss Every time I see a picture I like on one of your posts, I think to myself "I must get my pens/pencils/paints out soon". Then ten minutes pass, I get distracted by some random bit of nonsense, and I forget again.
Every.
Time.
😂😂
@Krisss A long time ago, a friend and I were at a party to watch the FA Cup on the south side of the bridge. Much beer was consumed, of course, and when we were walking across to the north side to get home (and this almost never happens) we hadn't noticed we were the only ones on the bridge until it started rising 😂😂
@Hey_Beth Actually I was just thinking about that reply - who the hell am I to talk, when I spend most of my time on here screaming about politics?
Ignore me.
Where are you going camping?
@Hey_Beth Spotted this film on my DVD shelf earlier - you've probably already seen it, because it's quite old, but if you haven't, I think it'd be right up your street 🥰
It's really sweet and funny without being syrupy or predictable (unsurprising with Julia-Louis Dreyfus in it). #Film#Cinema#Movies
@Hey_Beth I was really poor for a lot of years when I first left hospital - the only thing I could afford were second hand DVDs (we have loads of places you can get them for £1 or so here). lf you need decent film recommendations from 2007-2018, I'm your girl 😆
And it turns out painting over cartoons wasn't the worst decision made about how to treat child refugees today. From Adam Bienkov on the other place:
"Rishi Sunak's spokesman defends his government's plans to make it easier to use "reasonable force" against child refugees, in order to remove them from the country, telling me force will only be used against children in "limited" circumstances."

So apparently you can't delete your Threads account without also deleting your Instagram. Hardly surprising when Zuckerfucker makes it practically impossible to truly ever leave FB. Just leave it alone. It's going to be garbage, really quickly. You know that. Mastodon isn't.
"Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
W B Yeats - He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
