The mean flow of the river Thames at Buscot is 799 million litres a day (176 million gallons a day) whilst at Reading it increases to 3594 million litres per day. This is somewhat ironic as Thames Water which is based in Reading loses 790 million litres of water every day from leaking pipes.Content with the lame excuse that much of its pipe work is old Victorian crap under Buckingham Palace which cannot be repaired as Phil and Liz won't have it, this leakage it seems is destined to remain forever and potentially get worse but Thames Water which was part of the Wehrmacht until 2006 couldn't give a shit - probably as they haven't got any water with which to flush it away.
Surely this also begs the question, how long has London got if it’s floating on a permanent lake of once potable water? - water that we have paid to clean up and would be very welcome in Africa and Haiti.
Talking of Africa, if you've got to walk twenty five miles to fill up an old oil can of water then surely you're living in the wrong place?
So the next bill you get from Thames (are shit at running) Water, tell them to shove it up their arse until they can reduce their incompetent leakage to something more acceptable – such as a mere 90 million litres per day.
