Nice one Itsme! I think it must have taken quite a bit of courage to take-on WW like that. Well done.

What annoys me is the fact that the story was Headlines in the local paper, and, they advised others especially OAP to have a meter installed. Do they listen NO!!!!!
Oh well I did never regreted it

Just a theory, but I suppose it's because folk often fear the "unknown" and stick with the familiar - even though it is not always to their advantage. I remember hearing radio discussions re water meters back in the 1980s (or thereabouts) when there were ominous warnings that you could end up paying a lot more, if your water usage turned out to be high - it probably put off the very people that would have benefited, which is a shame. These days we have the advantage of being able to access forums such as this one, where we can learn from the experiences of fellow members - this thread has certainly given us food for thought in my home.

As I say the regitrar had a GRIN on his face; Could only guess but, that was in my favour As when the case was over he called me into his chambers, he congratulated me on my defense of the matter, shook my hand wished me luck and winked Very-Very nice chap

What you MUST remember, four or more sharing a household would NOT benefit from such a move, and it is now inevitable that all home will have one installed, once installed [this is important] you CANNOT have the meter removed?

This is true, even the family or persons that move in after you cannot have it removed as far as I am aware
