Absolutly disgusting isn't it? Thats what you get when you allow Johnny Foreigner to own Uk comapnies. He basically doesn't give a **** about the people because the company is owned by Germans and he sees himself as non accountable - only to his shareholders. If the comapny was British at least the public would be up in arms and make him feel accountable. Have you heard what happened in America, the country basically kicked them out for trying to over charge.
What happens here, we roll over, accept the price increases and accept the company will become weathier and shareholders will be better off. What should have happened was the Government watchdog step in and say enough is enough. In my opinion they got of easily and should have been fined more and have more penalties.

these boss's are paid to come up with a solution and lets face it the pipes where placed there nearly a hundred years ago!so we cant hold them responsible.
bad planning and the over migration in london has led for water demand.i know it sucks, my friends neighbours complained and got him a fine when i filled up a paddling pool.
there new ideas and plans are look like a better soloution,but the real problem is todays world cant stop to let yesterday get in there and sort it out.

I wholly agree that no bonuses should have been paid, but I post this with a quite different purpose in mind.
"Squillions". What a perfectly charming word. With your kind permission, I shall make it my own.
My earlier coinage, "bergillions", never really caught on, however fond of it I may have been.

It's disgusting, all the customers should make a class action against them.
