The other day I came across a smartly decorated white van at the end of our road - otherwise a transit-type van as used by jobbing builders - called green planet water supply division. I didn't like to take a picture of it but I did wonder what on earth it was all about. Houses in the suburbs of London mostly get their water from Thames Water, a well known outfit now headquartered in Australia and with the Macquarie Group lurking behind the throne. A group which packs a bigger punch than its fifty or so years would suggest.
Was the van into conjuring water out of the ground using solar panels or something, so that you could dispense with the chlorine & fluorine polluted stuff which you might otherwise get our of your tap?
But a short consultation with google, discarding all the eco stuff about saving the planet, reveals that this green planet outfit is really into offering household utility services of the sort that we buy from British Gas. Their core business is looking after getting utilities into and out of your house. To which end they are pretty nifty when it comes to digging large holes in your garden, particularly your front garden. See reference 1.
Essentially a bunch of navvies, Murphy's men as it were, in eco-clothes. Mystery solved.
