| This country realy is pathetic!!!
Bit of rain and most places flood,
Bit of snow and you dont see a binman for 2 months??
and now bit of sunshine hosepipe ban!!
Mind you it could be worse in some countries they have to walk bout 8 miles with a bucket on their heads just to get water!
p.s Do you get a reward if you dob someone in for useing their hosepipe???  |

Because some pay a fixed amount based on their property size regardless of usage, while others who have water meters pay for what they use. Will my fixed monthly charge drop now because we are not using the hose-pipe? Somehow I don't think so... Revenue won't increase but as selling less for the same price is always going to increase the GP margin! |

Alfie out of interest do you know how much United Utilities pay per litre of water compared to what they sell it at?
wired 71 is so going to rip your response to pieces. |

Viz top tip. Fill the pool up by using cups instead of a hose pipe to beat the ban. |

Brilliant Bob. You can't beat the Top Tips page.
One of my faves was "Avoid jet-lag, by simply taking an earlier flight"
back on topic, now....
Wise words by "the Ditch" earlier. Absolutely spot on.
To think, this country used to rule the world with it's engineering feats (Brunell, etc), but we cant tend to water pipes which we know have been leaking huge amounts of water for decades.

It's at times like this that I'm glad my decade long tenure at UU came to an end 3 years ago.
Saying that though, where I am at the moment, the whole business park doesn't have any water due to some piping issues. Guess I won't be drinking my 8 pints of water a day then. Should send us home, very unhygenic. Can't even have a slash as the toilets are not working.

If I have a water butt, and use it to water the garden, can I fill the water butt up from the garden tap by using a watering can, and then use the hosepipe from the butt?
My brain hurts!

For starters you don't have to say Leigh is a foreign country just because we have to walk to Pennington Flash with a bucket for water, and who are you dobbing in? If you get cash, i'm going to dob my neighbour in, fat cow.
