Yea, if I had an issue like this going to a computer based forum I've never posted on before to ask for advice wouldn't be my first thought....
But hey, he chose the right one!
maybe he isn't the only occupant or he exercises?
In the summer, on the weekend's, I tend to take 5-6 showers
I do however have a very warm bedroom and I get very aggitated with British heat
Take me away to a different country and I am fine, purely because they have the sea, pool's and air conditioned bars/rooms.

I have just recived a letter from my water company saying I owe them £924.63
I have only lived at the flat for 6 months, and on average use about 2 showers per day, and 3 loads of washing a week, and washing the dishes each night
and cant work out how it can cost so much, any help?
Speak to whoever provides your gas and electricity as a matter of urgency.
I think you mean water?
No.

I know I'm just adding to an already "too long about a stupid thing" thread but does anyone actually think the OP is actually serious about this??
I mean he's clever enough to create an account and post a question and yet isnt clever enough to realise a £900 bill for water for 6 months simply isnt realistic and moreover asks on a computer forum instead of ringing the water company in question!?!?!?
Beats me why he'd bother to ask the question for the sake of it but hey, whatever floats your boat I guess!

Ahh I see to forestall any future surprises, just in case the previous tennants ran up large utility bills of all types.

... a what ?
Odd first post. However, on the asumption it's a genuine question...
Did you take a meter reading when you moved into the property? If not then you may have been charged for a long outstanding amount due to previous lack of readings.

Are you on a meter or paying rates?
If its rates, you are stuffed tbh as you pay a set amount per month/year and can use as much water as you want. If you are on a meter, then generally you would pay a sum monthly (like Elec/Gas) and then on meter readings have your account adjusted accordingly.
900 is a lot for 6 months, however when we were on rates we paid just shy of 100 per month.. so I changed to a meter and we pay less.

its not a joke question, i searched google for help this website had a couple people asking on here about waterbills so fort I would try, and I have a feeling it could be a muck up as I was talking to our upstairs neighbours in the flat and they had £4,400 pound bill for just over 2 years and they phoned and it was for the old owers of the flat.

You seriously have 6 showers a day? More to the point, in the summer on weekends you stay in your very hot bedroom, presumably leaving only to shower?

Glad we don't have a water meter

I feel your pain. We have a £2000 one after a dodgy float in a toilet cistern meant that a constant trickle went through the overflow, which drained straight into the drainage pipes. No one knew anything about it until the bill came. Both United Utilities and the landlord are giving us the 'not my fault' routine.
No not always, some weekends I am out with friends, however my office is in my bedroom, and with work, I do one week on call, one week off, so unfortunately sometimes on the weekend I am working
I do get an extra £4k a year though for on call. And it only usually lasts from 8am - 3pm on the weekend days.
