So we've been talking about all the old Coarse/Match days we used fish and its brought back some good memory's of some old course places we used to fish. Gonna put this out there.......I've really been looking at FULL Match Setups and even people wanting to swap there Match Setuos for Carp Setups. 100% staying on the Carp Front now, reasons being..... Can Relax more, Take the Dog n Son when I can, (not able to really when Coarse/Match Fishing), but lad can have a Dabble with his float gear. crusian, barry211 and elmoputney 3 Quote

commonly Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Old thread i know, but the only one I could find How much longer are we going to put up with the complete ack of reinvestment in our infrastructures. My town (estimated 16,500 homes) is without water, due to a burst mains. This has caused utter chaos all day. These private firms pay out to the shareholders and hope everything else sorts it's self out. Then they have the cheek to say we got to pay more. Oil prices are another, perfect example of us being bent over Reform is needed, just not the party. kevtaylor and elmoputney 2 Quote

commonly Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Friday night mate. Don't get me wrong, I've not had it as hard as others. Im fortunate to have a 10000l pool in the garden, so buckets for flushing the loo. Water came on for a few hours yesterday but was very cloudy and chalky. We managed a shower and a few loads of washing. Ran out again by tea time. Easily collected bottled water yesterday. yonny and crusian 2 Quote

commonly Posted Wednesday at 10:19 Report Posted Wednesday at 10:19 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. Quote

greekskii Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago 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! Quote
