I can't remember where but i saw Thames Water and other water companies suggest having a four minute shower and we've actually implemented that at home. It's great if it saves money but we've done it because there are four of us who all have to have showers in the morning and get to work and one is always late! We tried to have a rota but if one overslept by even ten mins, the rota was ruined! The four minute shower actually helps and keeps us on track. If that saves water as I saw it does, even better! How much difference does the shower head freebie make a difference?

@MindTheGapFatberg the musical - wow! But you can honestly see some sort of a charity song - maybe Thames Water could release it next Christmas! Would give those lot on X-factor a run for their money to be Xmas number 1!

Is there an argument to stop wet-wipes altogether? I saw a few responses to your social media posts suggesting that but I think if they are flushable meaning they don't have that plastic element in, I don't see any issues. I think having proper flushable wet wipes would be great resulting in those that want to use them, would be free to use them without any guilt. Is there any info on the actual wet wipes that are flushable? Where can one purchase them from? Or are they not in shops yet? Regardless, to know they are coming and manufactuers are changing their ways is a a fantastic result.

That's great - thank you. I'll pass that on to my neighbours and sister in law who happens to be a primary school teacher. Seems a no brainer to attend a centre for a day if the cost is minimal.

Very interesting - I wonder how many people even know this. I have releatives that have disabilities (in the government's eyes at least) but that doesn't stop them working, walking or doing everything normally so I doubt they even think about things like this.

I'm a Thames Water customer and have been for many years as I live in London. My cousin works for you so i often hear about the things you're doing and I've really enjoyed seeing all the bits about the Fatberg and sewer damage and some of your PR articles about things you've found there have been amazing. I have some neighbours who have children and I was curious to know if you do anything with children in schools or provide lesson plans to teachers for them to run their own session because I don't recall anyting like this when i was studying (must admit, that was about 15 years ago!) and i think young people such as my neighbours would really benefit from things. Just a thought!

This could be a mascot type figure for Thames Water - bring Plastic person out more! Another really good way of highlighting a big issue, not just on your region but the entire country. I do some work in environment and it can be a tough sell at times.

I saw these on the tube - my cousin works for Thames Water and we often discuss his work so I'm fully aware of the cool stuff you guys are doing. I'm a customer too and really enjoyed seeing the stuff you guys have done around sewer damage; do schools cover it at all? If not, they should! It's very important and massively interesting when you get into it.
