  1. Imagine a car going fast enough to splash you there 😭

  2. You may see a flooded street; I see rising Thames Water bills for all of us…

  3. Thank goodness those rising water bills will be reinvested into the infrastructure and not shared out as dividends.

  4. Going to a gig at the O2 forum there tonight, fingers crossed it isn’t still like this!

  5. “don’t use hoses please were short on water” ~ people responsible for maintaining the water mains.

  6. There’s been so many issues of disruption on this road with multiple roadworks from the past year or so. Not surprised.

  7. Ever since Thames water made that ad about them fixing the Victorian pipes I always see them and burst pipes lol

  8. Where’s the local MP when you need him to sort things out…

    (From an overseas St Pancras and Holburn constituent).

  9. My fault 🙋‍♂️, dropped an absolute charger down one of the stalls at the forum last night 😪

  10. Slightly unrelated but I live v close by and this road feels like it’s been constantly under construction for a year now. They keep digging up sections of it. 

    In the Netherlands, when they do this, they make improvements to the pavements and add cycle lanes. I don’t know why they don’t do that here. The street is crying out for some public realm improvements 

  11. The amount of times I’ve seen a street flooded because Thames water can’t do their fucking job is depressingly high.

  12. Jesus. Shit like this has been happening near me (Crystal Palace) for ages, had to basically ford a river to get my daughter to school a few months ago
