On may way home today I shoved about 30 litres of petrol into my car at the ridiculous price of £1.14 each. This is clearly mad, but then again if you consider what petrol actually is and how difficult it is to locate and extract then it doesn’t seem that high a price. The only reason we perceive it to be such a high price is because of how much we use. If you went through 50 litres of cola or milk every few weeks you would probably complain about the high price of that too.
I had already been contemplating the true value of fluids recently when my household water bill arrived at £425 for next year’s service. At first I thought this was crazy, £35 each month just for water, but then I picked myself up and started to think outside the box and consider that for just £425 I get a full year of unlimited clean cold water pumped into my house and an unlimited amount of dirty water and semi-solid waste pumped out of my house. Perhaps this much- undervalued service needs a marketing overhaul, or maybe they could offer a cut down service where you get the water cheaper but you have to clean it yourself and get rid of your own sewage, can’t say fairer than that.
Well, I for one intend to show my full appreciation by wasting a good deal of fresh cool clean water by taking photos of it. Enjoy…

Sparkly clean
Not to be taken for granted!
