Hose Ban
 

Would any Southerners like to give me there hose pipes for the summer?

You will not be needing it!!! :D :lol: :D :wink:

ha bloody ha... was going to pressure wash my bike today then remembered... :cry:

No ban ere Sunny Essex :lol:

justify water rates then i'll use less.

Well even down here in the hottest part of Spain our local reservoirs are now back up to 94% capacity. How can an island,with plenty of rain water on average,be even considering a hose pipe ban? Where does it all go??? :?

No ban in my neck of the woods either :D

Plants get watered by my big water butt, car & bike washed by bucket....I have a water meter & I'm tight.

Often go days without washing too.

They lose a lot of the water from leaks

I'm ok to wash me car as that comes to middlesbrough (lots and lots of water!) all the time when I'm off work (do 12hour shifts so lots of time off) but the bike stays in Ruislip so I have a hose pipe ban and I don't but still enjoy taking the pee as the southerners think its grim up here but at least our vehicles are clean!!!! :D

It's not just a lack of rain but a lack of rain in the correct places. The greatest rainfall is in the south and west, due in part to geography as well as most common wind direction. However, the greatest population density is in the south east. Water in the south east comes mainly from natural underground reservoirs where water gets stored in rocks such as chalk. These are heavily dependant on wet winters to be topped up before the summer.

Accept it or move to Bristol, it never stops raining here! :D
