Patronising, really. As are the posters in London claiming how much water is being saved by new pipes fitted by Thames Water. I saw a PR-driven sign by some road works the other day that said somethign along the lines of 'Thames Water apologises for the inconvenience whilst we replace these Victorian Water Pipes'. Their point being that the work is for our own good. Our complaint being that Victorian Water Pipes should have been replace a long, long time ago.
Anyway, if you feel like blaming yourself some more, you can always read these water saving tips, courtesy of the BBC:

Or you can play with their water saving calculator to see the neglible impact of an over-long shower has in comparison to the massive amounts of water wasted by Thames Water every day.
Yes, I am grumpy!
