..... if there's a hosepipe ban apparently the Fine is £1,000. Well I have more than that in money's worth in pots around our ponds. I would be prepared to pay as long as the Fine went to Water Aid and not the W Authority as there is so much waste across the UK. In our village there was a leak for almost 12 months in one part and another for 6 weeks - no one would take any responsibility for fixing them!
We can't be short of water, we R a 1st World Country and surrounded by the stuff!

Apparently they are going to fly drones over houses to catch people using them.
I wonder if these car cleaning places will be able to use the hosepipes.
-
Probably because they are in business. I have £thousands worth of plants around our garden and I am not prepared to lose them. It won't do my mental health any good. I have plans :-X ;D. There is a Large Black Cloud above and buckets stood everywhere. But I haven't had the energy to haul used bath water downstairs.
-
If they fixed all the leaks I doubt they would need a hosepipe ban - perhaps they could use the £2million they pay the CEO for it. You can still water your plants with a watering can. If it's a long way to the tap could you run a length a length of alkathene pipe to the ponds with a tap on the end of it?
-
The ponds will be topped up. Plants will be watered. We've had rain this evening ::)
Will you visit me in Prison ;D
-
You don't have to haul water downstairs if you have a window in the bathroom and a hosepipe. Let gravity do it for you?

I've done all that in the past. Lived through 1975/6 and used the hose pipe. Lived through 1995 etc.. I'm more clumsy these days so would likely slop as much on the stairs as gets saved ;D
-
The hosepipe method works well and no slopping on the stairs - well not from bucket spillage ;D
