      For the past five years, we have had regular letters from Scottish Water, offering insurance for leaks, as WE are now responsible for the repair of leaks from the main road and the house stop cock (WE, as in ALL consumers) and they are expensive

        Yeah, I have insurance also Jack.
        But SE Water are responsible for the leaks my side of the meter for a year after putting me on a water meter.
        But only because I didn't ask to be put on a meter.

                        4.30 and we are now digging hole four.
                        Dont look like it will be finished today.

                        Also waiting for the police to arrive, but that's another story.
