In just over 3 hours a company like UU couldn't source bottled water. No emergency plans in operation ? Maybe we should all switch water companies, oh hang on we can't it's a rip-off monopoly in place to feed the fat cats that run it

Well, my brother picked up the pack of 6 bottles for me from the bottom of Lynwood Avenue, Clayton, then my neighbour kindly brought me another 6 (as I am a pensioner like), thinking I may be struggling.

So, have plenty of water for necessities at the moment. Problem is .............................................. can't open the BLOOMING THINGS. Tops too tight.... !!!!

Any strong fisted men out there ??

Maybe I should have worded that better ...

Now getting slighty upset. Have decided to stab the plastic excuse for a container in its nether regions.

Yep .. that worked. Squirted on me mascara in defence. It knows my weaknesses.

Die, die, die you water flagon

At least can have a brew in the morning.
