As an aside I am now paying an eye watering £99 a month for my water due to not getting a broken toilet and dripping tap fixed for the first six months of the year.

Unless you've got a leak metered water supplies are so much cheaper. I'm back on water rates and paying three times what I paid with a water meter as it's me living in a flat on my own and I'm regularly only there two thirds of the week.
Hargreaves I could have a wife and one child and only then would I be spending as much with a meter as I spend on water rates for a one bed flat at the moment.
I like to water my lawn. A meter would make me judiciously inspect how much water is wasted when tap turns, toilet flushed. I don't need the stress in my life, man.
Flashed the heating on for a quick 30 mins yesterday just to make sure it’s all ok. Nice and cosy and took the edge off for the rest of the evening. Mrs Blair went ape shit though
Can’t wait to stop having to cut the bastarding grass.
They keep trying to get me on a meter... Fortuitously everything about the services in this house is snide... and the previous owner just dug up the common land and connected to the mains there... which means the water company need a way leave from the council to dig... and we have rare grass on this bit of the common...

Whaaaat? Do you have an ancient pile with no insulation? Do you not own a jumper?! (And I am the one who ups the thermostat in our house...!)

Water meters are a terrible idea.
See also smart meters.

That fact perhaps not unrelated to my admission in 9.10

We had a gyppo round ours knocking on doors and offering to fix people's water meters so it only looks like you're using circa £30 a month

Heating goes on in mid Nov and lasts until 28 February (not 1 March, to avoid being stung on leap years, like next year).

As for heating my new build is sitting at 22C with just a couple of towel rails on when the hot water is on.

Managed to get some sunburn yesterday sitting outside a café so I don't think summer is entirely done yet.
