Posted By Neil Budworth This is the internal advertisement, but the post is now being opened up outside of Severn Trent, so the Severn Trent experience becomes meaningless. The 'real ' advert will be in this month's practitioner, but I thought I'd give you guys first bite. Sorry for any confusion. Best Regards Neil
