    I think it would be funny to see if a group of us spreading a rumour that the water pressure being dropped at night has nothing to do with the cold weather and actually that the government are going to charge you for higher water pressure as part of the new water charges scheme.

    Lets see how far we can take it, can we make it go viral?

    I think it would be fun to have an in joke for boards members.

    I vote the OP delete their post and request the thread locked, just to maintain the illusion.

    No crap

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
