I heard that some African hunter-gatherer tribes, who are always on the move, hydrate far more effectively through some sort of pulpy seeds that they carry around.

Thames Water’s senior executives will receive lavish “retention incentives” as part of a £3bn emergency loan agreed by the utility that is seeking to stave off renationalisation.​

​

Some executives were in line for “50 per cent of salary; very substantial bonuses” as part of the loan agreed with creditors including the US hedge funds Elliott Management and Silver Point Capital, Thames Water chair Sir Adrian Montague told parliamentarians on Tuesday.​

​

Montague claimed that Thames Water had to keep paying bonuses to prevent rival companies from “picking off” its best employees.​

​

“We have a bonus scheme to protect our most precious resource, which is the senior management team,” Montague told the cross-party environment select committee.​

​

The bonuses would be paid in three tranches in addition to their annual salaries and other awards, the MPs were told.​
