So, Southern Water has written to its 350,000 customers telling them there's a water shortage and, in effect, saying we have to waste less of "their" water.

I received one of these letters and sent it back immediately, telling Southern Water they have to stop wasting our money on stationery and postage.

The said letters need never have been sent out in the first place as they have been using The Argus for the past two years to pass on their message.
