Anglian water have a huge one in the pipeline. But it’s not started yet so funding may disappear. Similar to the Cambridge relocation. can imagine whatever has happened is very major and something they won’t want to admit publicly. The storm excuse is a cop out imo. It happened around our way ages ago at Pitsford, dead rabbit in one of the chambers, had to shut off and drain, sterilise and refill the entire system. The intermittent water supply will be because they are pumping potable water from tankers in to the system, hence a bit of stop start as pressure fluctuates. The entire situation will cost them tens, in not hundreds of millions at least. One thing I will note, developers only pay for direct infrastructure. Bill money is meant to pay for the rest which is wildly unfeasible. Wouldn’t be surprised if they start getting charged for the site upgrades soon too. House prices might rocket or development slows though! btw I work in part of the industry so see the costs of things and whilst I can’t reveal much, a housing development of 3000 homes paying £1,200 a year won’t touch the sides on the upgrades or new works to deal with the flows.

Condition are looking really good for Friday down here, shame the cars off the road 😂

We are an island surrounded by water global water means water levels rising why are we not investing in and building desalination plants we can drink water back to correct levels.publicly owned so the criminal water boards can’t make obscene profits. would also look good on the green agenda 👍

From what I understand,no new reservoirs have been built for around 40 years. Put that to the increase in population and demand, it's disgraceful that our most precious resource has been run for profit of investors. 6 days without water. Apparently due to a storm preventing sufficient treatment, along with the frost causing pipes to leak. Strange how weather is all of a sudden an issue?? They'd of blamed Bexit if they thought we'd believe it

Good luck mate 🤞

Might work!

Perfect timing..... my first sesh of the year on Friday!

Love the updates, especially the bit about the Albino Grassie. Seeing your journey really gave me the final push to stock up my own pond this month. I just placed an order with Next Day Koi. I trust them because they were the first online retailer to offer a 14-day worry-free guarantee, which takes a lot of the stress out of buying online. Since they’re the original pros at next-day shipping, I know the fish will land in great shape. Can't wait to see Whopper hit that 30lb mark!

Good try mate, but you're facing milder temps, winds from the South and by Friday it will be 988 pressure, DEFFO should give it a go if you can, seems bang on TBH I should be on a work party Saturday, may do the night after.

Hi Kev. A tackle shop on their facebook post has pointed out that Weds. - Friday the air pressure is dropping , but not a super low ?, so I'll probably stay home in the warm safe from the rain , and the mud . 😁

Agree that investment has lacked but can’t say they don’t invest at all. I’m part of a £5billion portfolio…which does need an extra 2b to deliver fully. that’s over 5yrs. Most of that is to just keep up with either tightening regulations or demand from development. The underinvestment in the 80s/90s isn’t rectifiable now. Not quickly anyway. Even if the money was there, the workforce isn’t. It’s catch up and plasters to the tune of enormous sums of money. whatever’s happening with your water company is shocking. Be interesting to know exactly what the issue is. Must be major to be offline for so long!

another go for 2hrs today, another blank! My little girl had a fair few roach and rudd though.

I tried to go last week but it was frozen solid! 🙄 hopefully get another few hours in over the weekend

I see you are fishing in the same swim that you were in December , and if ayone was going to be daft enough / dedicated enough to fish in this weather my money would be on you , Ouch .

Would anything ever get done or voted through if that happened probably still blame the previous liars.

sat behind the rods in a wet and windy low pressure system, the lake was frozen last week. blanked unfortunately, but try again soon!

Don't think we will ever get a parliament of 100% all independent

Too many adverts on this, think it was filmed on Bury Hill Bonds lake.... awfull place but the guy proves his point.... maybe:

Still no flipping water

We need a change at the top, unfortunately, it would appear Labour are our best option , but the mainstream press (as always) seem to turn the majority of sheeple against them??? After the mess the Boris crowd left it's going to take quite a few years, not months. Starma might not be charismatic, but we don't need that. Someone with their head screwed on who will put the people first, not the big corporations.

Anyone with morals hmmm 🤔 none of them then lol

Oh god that's terrible. Hope it gets sorted soon,water companies are a bunch of criminals.

Anyone with morals that would actually put the working class first.

You are right I had a brain malfunction when I thought it was £3, I still maintain you can get better bait for that price. Have a look at mirage baits £60 for 10kg and they all sound like great baits tbh

I listened to the Marcus watts podcast again today. Frozen sweetcorn glazed with MPG, apparently it's good. I've tried to keep my baits gut friendly, good leakage for the solubles, wallet friendly and sustainable, that's the things I strive for no expensive milks not loads of fishmeal, no krill etc, I even dismissed an ingredient because it contained palm oil. AI could probably work out the costings and savings for you. but I guess it's all about buying power and speed of process etc.
