Not a single person I've told about this knows about this

I didnt know about this

What a bunch of effin jokers. It sounds serious enough that they might like to actually make an effort to tell people, rather than just put up a web page that no one reads

Yeah I found out by Facebook, even my brother only found out about 5'ish and he works for UU.

"Customers are asked to take extreme care when boiling water because of the danger of scalding. Simply bring water to the boil and let it cool.". I was thinking of making a cuppa too, 'bout ****ting myself to turn on the kettle!

While I don't think it made the national news I'd hope it at least made the NW or Lancashire local BBC news bulletins.

Would have thought they could email any customers with online account management at least though.

Finally have had something direct from UU via email this afternoon, only took them 24 hours!

In which time you've drank 2 liters of water.
