Should the rest of us subsidise South West of England's water bills?

I was there in the last couple of weeks. During the England/Germany game. It was deserted. But still tacky as hell. We felt we had to go, though.

i refuse to take anyone there because it is crap.

From what I can gather it was sold to someone called Graham Ferguson Lacey or summat.

I know it was sold to a welsh bloke called Goldstone who sold it to De Peter Savary (who also bought John O Groats) I don't know if this Lacey bloke still owns it though.

It was bought in 1996 by Heritage Attractions Limited who now own other landmark sites around the UK including; John O'Groats, The Needles Park on the Isle of Wight, Snowdon Mountain Railway and Lightwater Valley Theme Park.

Allan Leech seems to be the CEO. I'm trying to find out more about him.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that the Cornish and other South Westerners shouldn't be left to shoulder this financial burden. That yes, the Water Companies shouldn't be privatised. But that this doesn't mean the residents of the South West should be abandoned.

Hear hear.

And in the meantime if you would like to send me a tenner towards my water bill, cheers, nice one.

No more £50 per annum subsidy thanks Reeves

South West Water are also arseholes

Government's £50 contribution to South West Water bills scrapped

The government says it is one of the difficult decisions it is taking to address a £22bn black hole.

Taking the thread title literally yes you should all subsidise our water.

We'll see who's coastline it is when Tidal Power Generation kicks in and starts providing a hefty chunk of the UK's energy requirements.

Yes, and that will be a reality by 2020 at the latest.

We're on a limited tariff regardless. Finally a benefit of eczema
