It hasn't rained very much in the south for months. Funnily enough, the only day of rain coincided with our visit to Oxford! It has become common to have a water meter if you don't have many people living in your house. I was interested to note that the volume was measured in cubic metres. Note from the photograph that it measures to the nearest 1000th of a cubic metre, which is actually a litre. You are not billed to that precision though.The booklet that came wih the metre alarmed me. The number of people is a discrete variable and so this data should really have been plotted as a bar graph. Whereabouts should one person read their typical usage volume??
