I just fancied a mini rant :D

Live up by the hospital, still got water. You're welcome to water if you have none. Will be home from work after 4.30pm, if anyone wants any water PM me, and i will PM back my address. Will check out site throughout the day for any PMs.

You can guarantee most of that water won't have been collected by those who need it either. Stupid system :mad:

At least those with out water will know why I hate UU, biggest scam company in the UK :mad:

Some of you may be pleased to know that the CEO of United Utilities, and the man ultimately responsible for the chaos and gross ineptness resulting from this incident, was last year paid £800,000 salary plus a bonus of £1million. But please don't be too hard on him - water supply in the North West is a highly competitive market, with UU up against the likes of Tesco, Asda and numerous corner shops. So no doubt he deserves every penny.

Re: Water Main Burst
 

I've just had a phone call from United Utilities after contacting them earlier this morning . The lady said that the damage is to the most essential part of the main , whatever that is . She said they are trying to get the water flowing now .

According to Radio Lancashire there was supposed to be a tanker at the top of the street on Richmond Rd/Rawson Avenue junction at 9a.m. It's now after 11a.m. and no sign of one .
Probably been hijacked on the way up .

My Auntie Mary lives at Mallard place, she was one of the first residents - lived there for 40+ years. I'll ask her if she knows you.

I( have just been to Tesco where there is lorry loaded with bottled water, they are giving out 12 bottles per person.

TV camera is there and about five police men.

I put my bottles in the car and across from me there was a Vauxhall Zafira with about ten packs in it and what looked like five people from the same family unloading more packs of water into the car. Maybe they have a shop off Blackburn road and are cashing in on the crisis.

Laughing at 5 policemen, have they no crimes to solve :D:D

ITV or BBC?

Re: Water Main Burst
 

We have just hi-jacked a water tanker in Union Road. The driver just stopped at the cafe for a butty, and about 20 of us turned up with buckets. 45 minutes later, he's still there!

Re: Water Main Burst
 

You mean like arresting the Chief Executive of UU for fraud :D

Re: Water Main Burst
 

Thats boring, I was thinking more like sticking him in stocks and everyone throwing water bombs at him :D

They will have to wait till the water is back on though :D

Has someone nicked his keys yet?
