  1. Mine has it too,made in 1998,look up the serial number on the database to find out exactly.
  2. Nothing spotted in South Wales yet, never usually see them until mid April in recent years,was earlier as I remember many years ago!
  3. Over £150 to buy new equivalents today!
  4. Wow,a real bargain there,sorry you’re 350 miles away! Would be worth more to me! Should go very quickly.
  5. £65 for 6 months is very cheap! My standing charge alone is more than that. Mine is £115 for 6 months including standing charge,and I use little water at 70 litres a day.
  6. I can only say what I use,and different water regions have different prices. My standing charge is £151 a year,and I am living alone using 25 units a year on average which is 25,000 litres.So about 70 litres per day. Each 1000 litres costs £3.40 which includes the cost of sewerage waste,(less if a septic tank is used) Here you have up to 2 years to trial a meter and can change back if you want.But it’s really a no brainer,even with 3 in a house it is about half the unmetered charge.To equal the unmetered charge I would have to use 6 times as much water as I do.
  7. Seriously consider a water meter! Free fitting I believe and pay a £150 a year standing charge plus £3.40 per 1,000 litres used. That’s our charge anyway,comes to £230 a year altogether instead of about £680 unmetered.
  8. £50 a week! Terrible lot for one person, sounds like a biggish property though,possibly band F? Think it would cost more in Wales,though houses are worth less!
  9. It was a better system in my opinion,every adult over 18 contributed for the council services instead of just the householder!
  10. That must be about the dearest council in England! Band F here will be £3,305 here and that’s bad enough! House values are greater in Bristol though.
  11. That’s a much lower cost than my band B of £1,780! Also my house is probably only half the value of yours at £120,000.It’s ridiculous here,gone up from under £300 a year to £1780 in 30 years while wages have merely trebled!
  12. I’d prefer 4.9% to our 7.95% increase ! 😊Some areas are 10% or more.
  13. Bit cheaper down Cwmbran way I think? Band D here,worth about £175,000- £260,000 is now £2280 a year!
  14. Just had my latest bill, band B house worth about £120,000, council tax £1778.-25% single occupancy £1333! Up 7.95% on last year. Now 10% of total income,Yet the owners of £1million+ London houses paying under £1,000 a year. No doubt there are some bills higher with similar low value homes?
