Will you lot stop saying hose!!!!!! The damn things are still banned in my area.

Gunk also do a driveway cleaner which I've used on concrete slabs with good effect. Trouble is it left a clean patch on the slab and I had to clean the others to make them all match again.....

I use Ross driveway degreaser from Halfords... Works a charm. Doesn't leave a clean spot either

WTF? I've forgotten the number of times recently that I've turned up to work soaking wet. How the hell can a water company be so inefficient?

Low water tables, apparently, drained aquifiers and such. The current rain's more than enough for hosepipes etc, but not for those and also for reversing the effects of the droughts.
