When they tell you a number is so you go “HOW MUCH? WOW” when they should be telling you the number as a percentage of profits.
0.5% of yearly profits doesn’t sound as big does it? I mean I’ve made that number up, but the point stands.

It says in the article the proposed fine for Thames is 9%, but doesn’t mention Northumbria or Yorkshire.

…can you tell I didn’t read it? Thanks for that. 9% is fuck all really innit?

Aye still a joke, especially when they’re wanting to charge us more, government should force the bosses to give back their bonuses but that’s never gonna happen.
