Water, water, everywhere ...

... except in the pipes of Thames Water apparently.

London, UK, has been under a drought order since spring. Thames Water have spent £1.5millon (about US$3mil) on an advertising campaign showing London landmarks flooded.

This post on Digital Irony shows one of them and a quick web hunt will find the others.

To put that budget in perspective - the combined total fine of their last four pollution incidents comes to less than £200,000 and their profits are in the hundreds of millions.

This company are spending more on making themselves look good than on actually fixing the problem - but it doesn't matter as the Government isn't doing an awful lot to reprimand them.
