7am: You make coffee with safe drinking water provided and monitored for
safety by Scottish Water. You have a shower
and use the toilet that flushes into the public
sewerage system safe in the knowledge that
it’s not flowing down the street spreading
cholera and other diseases.
The electricity and gas that you use may
now be provided by the private sector but
OFGEM regulates the market and a range of
health and safety laws protect you from
being electrocuted or blown up. |
