hose pipe bans, drought orders
 

FFS it is bucketing it down, there is a river running down my drive.

Yet I would be fined £1000 for pumping the basement out through a hose pipe.

I don't get it.

Stick the hosepipe in your watering can and carry both round the garden watering the pots through the spout

My mate in the Ettrick Valley near Selkirk hasn't had water in his house since April! The last time it rained in the Valley there was a 27ft flood that washed cows, sheep, fences and bridges away and it hasn't rained a drop since. He gets his water from a huge (empty) tank up the hill.

The next valley is a wash out :)

Peed down here all last night, peeing down now here with some thunder, no hosepipe ban though.
Stop the gazillions of gallons getting lost through leaks and problem solved.
