Off Topic Which bill

Do you hate paying the most?

I've just had a warning from the TV ****s.

Last time he rang the intercom, i told him to **** off

So guess i'll have to pay it sometime,

Mortage/rent can't really complain about.... But have to pay them all, but which is your most despised?

After TV, mine is car tax.

 

Council tax.

£170

 

Water bill. Fcking thing used to be about £200 a year. Now it feels like that per month!

Water ffs!

 

what, a month?

 

Yeah. It’s ****!

And the ****s don’t even collect my bottles, so I just lob them into the street whilst I’m pissed.

 

i've heard that loads lately mtae. luckily my water is built into the rent.

 

the ****s, that's a lot

 

You're lucky there, it's becoming a rip off.

I know that council tax, gas, electric is bound to be the highest, but water is just becoming extortionate imo. I wonder what the hell they are doing differently to make it so expensive.

Oh yeh and mobile phone bills

 

oh yeah, forgot about that ****a, mobile fone, robbing ****s.

 

Ditch the TV mate.

and don't forget to fill up.

 

Yeah this is mine as well.

 

He rang the intercom at nearly 9pm.

Let's just say it didn't go well.

His final words were 'ok i will send a letter', and my final words were '**** off you ****.

 

Broadband and Council tax !

 

Very diplomatic

 

+1 for water bills.

Down here we've got coastline on 3 sides so loads of beach clean up and making sure raw sewage doesn't spew out into the sea.

Also most counties share infrastructure with their neighbours, i.e. treatment works, pumping stations, sewage works, pipe maintenance etc, but Cornwall pretty much goes it alone, other than the land border with Devon.

 

Fair play mate, any **** knocking on my door asking for a bill at 9pm would get the same treatment. And I'm a Hippy ffs.

 

I don't know what has changed to suddenly make looking after a reservoir, filtration and adding chemicals, then transporting it so different that its pricing has jumped so massively?

If it's about dealing with burst pipes, well I'm sure that happened before. The only other thing is the cost of electricity/gas they use so basically we're paying utilities twice then.

 

It's about profit .

 

Yep. Privatisation!

 

Should public services be run on a 'not for profit' basis, with any surplus being reinvested into improving services ?

One for the anti-Corbyn crew to consider ......
