The worst offender is Folkestone and Dover Water, which will charge its 160,000 customers an average of 166 a year for water from April. This compares with an average bill of 142.
Where do these averages come from1? I just got a bill for 260 for this year, and I'm sure that doesn't include the waste water bit... this is for a two bed flat and all! Roll on water metering...

This is part of my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues + things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
