Cashy, I was being polite. It is how I am.

Re: Licence's
 

I know.;) Though the word i used is pretty polite fer me.;)

Re: Licence's
 

i've paid these companys thousands over the years so i'm not exactly a freeloader more riding the wave of my contributions :D

I could tell you that For near enough the whole time that I have been at this address I have bought water filters and cartridges (at considerable expense to myself) in an attempt to purify the sub standard product that United Utilities provides BUT I became aware that this does not remove fluoride from the water.
I could tell you that Since becoming aware of the ineffectiveness of these filters I have had to purchase fluoride free bottled water (at considerable expense to myself ) and that Currently my weekly expenditure on bottled water is in excess of £15, as i'm not prepared to use tap water for drinking or food preparation and that with said costs i cant contribute to there caribbean island retirement fund anymore. I could also tell you i'm aware that the fluoride UU add may be absorbed through our skin particularly when the water temperature is such that the pores are opened thus we are also being supplied with water unfit for personal hygiene

1.try write to UU and ask for evidence that they are not medicating you and your family by adding chemical additives to your water or
2.write and ask for evidence that the fluoride they add to our water supply is not a bi-product of the agro-chemical industry and therefore deemed as industrial waste,
are there are any benefits to us from this chlorined/fluorided water supply?

SURELY SOMEONE HAS DONE A WATER THREAD? :D

There is no fluoride added to the water in Hyndburn

I filter out the chlorine and (unfortunately) the naturally occurring minerals - so if you filter, you need to make sure you get minerals other ways.

Re: Licence's
 

So Chris, lets get this straight, you have decided not to purchase water that is delivered to your tap. The why is not important, although you avoided the issue by giving us a long winded one, I take it you don't want United Utilities taking away your waste water and processing it.
So in that case why don't you ask yo have your water and sewerage cut off. If you are that concerned why not drill a well.

Now on to your Gas and electric, you still have not answered this.

Re: Licence's
 

And do you use this bottled, flouride free water to wash in.........and flush your toilet, to wash your clothes in???
Chirs do us a favour and credit us with some intelligence. If you do not pay for services (but use any part of that service) then you are a sponger, a free loader......and you are stealing money from the rest of your community. Rather than coming on here and trumpeting about it, you should be hanging your head in shame .

Frankly, I do not care how much you have paid in the past(why should it matter now,you paid for what you used then).....it is irrelevant....you have to pay for what you use....do you steal from Tesco and Asda too?

Re: Licence's
 

Why do these taxes like the TV licence,Rod licence etc get away with calling themselves a licence?

Re: Licence's
 

why don't you answer questions put to you.

Well said Marg.

Re: Licence's
 

I would be prepared to pay for the service of providing myself with clean, healthy, fresh drinking water, free of all toxic substances as long as United Utilities are prepared to prove the condition of the water to My Satisfaction.( thats My Satisfaction not theres, nor anyone else's after all I am the one who has to drink there sludge However the amount i'd pay would be by necessity.

services are'nt the topic,,,please try and stay on topic :D:D:D

Re: Licence's
 

no you are refusing to pay for a service, end of. if you do not want it you should have it cut off.
the simple fact you have not done this means you are a sponger.

Re: Licence's
 

Top and bottom of it is There's No lawfully-binding contract between me and UU,,,,,And if they don't want to contract with me but still provide a service it's fine ,,,i dom't think that they have the right to cut your water off (unless your property is unoccupied)

Re: Licence's
 

They do have the right to reduce supply to a trickle.
I suspect that it hasn't happened already because you share a common supply pipe with neighbours.
