Joe doesn't care too much for Mick's logic - that the whole Irish Water thing has been whipped up by people with a political agenda and the media. Given of course, that Joe has made a good few programmes on the back of it...............

Nope, you are not alone. I am so law abiding, it's ridiculous - well, actually my OH insisted.....

Mike Guide 69

Ask him Joe has he ever marched for anything?????

jetfiremuck

Jesus...how easy it would have been to have included a charge on the esb bill allocated for repairs....all the money saved on set up alone could have gone to repairs.

Sh1t. Dolly birds everywhere won't be able to get their camel eyelashes on Saturday.......

Boo hoo

Shut up bob we can't hear this guy, he must know how Midge Ur felt

Dan Jaman

What's the point of your whinge, caller? Simply cater to the marchers with ices, teas and guns. <edit> I mean buns.

This "very modest charge" won't be collected weekly, you utter clown. If it were only €3.50 per week or €14 per month and it could be paid that way, that would be fine. The utter a55holes in charge totally fail to make it easy to collect and will want it in one or two lump sums.
FFS; years ago the TV Licence people sussed that one out and made it possible to buy weekly licence stamps - is the government so stupid it's totally forgotten the simple things?

Dead right Dan.

That's just about the sum of it - one less pint of black stuff a week (and a cheap pint at that) in exchange for c 1500 pints of H2O.

Flukey

"Every other country in Europe pays water charges and property tax" they say. Well, isn't it great that Ireland leads the way in something. The rest of Europe should follow us.

Well said, its a pity Joe hasnt asked him, would he demsonstrate if that happened to him.........

neris

Water charges should have been brought in ten years ago when people could pay

Tiger Mcilroy

Your point is your shop is more important than 100'000 people that want to protest.

JM Skipton

Caller "Town will be like it was "Funny Friday " on Saturday Joe, people will not come in to shop"

Yes, and that's why the taxi drivers blockaded the airport when licensing was de-regulated, which had nothing to do with the airport.....

neris

You see if he had his thinking cap on, a good marketing ploy, would be to offer discount hair extensions to those of the "blue rinse brigade" that would be up marching, problem solved Mr Retailer!!!!

Joe needs to drag the threads of this together. Or alternatively, we could change topic!

in other words the Kells March will be a piss up

What about Elizabeth Arnett? I feel sorry for her, she was doing such a great job for IW. Then they fell off the cliff...

2smiggy

the old lad makes a great point. too many people abusing the use of clean water for years.

jetfiremuck

Who are all these water wasters ffs??????? This is a red herring

Dan Jaman

We need to wrench some of the snouts out of the public trough and there would be more than enough to pay for the water via the taxes already collected, as was the intention.
