Hosepipe Ban

[mike.perry]

Well the hosepipe ban starts in this part of the country on Thursday and guess what - yes it is raining and the weather forecast is rain

[brucek]

Yep! hosepipe ban starts in Lincolnshire tomorrow and todays its like January - arctic temperatures and torrential rain still, to be fair, it is VERY dry here and there has not been a significant fall of rain for ages. Good job I have a rainwater well from which gardens can be watered and cars can be washed

[lambrettalad]

I have a spare hosepipe if yours are banned

[C6Dave]

I use #1 Drywash http://www.onedrywash.com/ (other makes available) on the Morris and my C6. My neighbour uses it on his BMW and Porche and has done for a long time now.

No water required so unaffected by any potential 'hosepipe' ban

No, it doesn't scratch the paintwork and is very easy to use so if your looking for a way to keep your car clean..........

[badobsession]

Roy we could fill the minors with scottish water and make a killing selling it at the national rally they will have bound to have run out of water by then

[POMMReg]

Can you get water from hot pasties?

[RogerRust]

roy dose not go out in the rain

That would mean Roy never goes out at all, its always raining in Scotland - thats why they don't have a hose pipe ban.

[MarkyB]

its always raining in Scotland

Unless it's snowing of course

It rained again today and my water butt is overflowing. Can I donate the contents to the local reservoir?
Can't see the problem with water shortage, it comes out of the pipe, through the hose, down the drain, through the treatment works or straight into the river, out of the river back into the pipes. Full circle - if we did not use it then it would not get re cycled.

[mike.perry]

Just an update - it's still raining. Now if I could connect the hosepipe to the gutters?????

[badobsession]

roy dose not go out in the rain

That would mean Ray never goes out at all, its always raining in Scotland - thats why they don't have a hose pipe ban.

I'm going to divert the bath waste and filter it through a coarse sand filter before using it on the garden. needs must when the hosepipe bans.

[mike.perry]

It's stopped raining, I'm going to cut the grass, no ban on lawn mowers

[rayofleamington]

I managed to cut our grass last weekend - we had a day and a half with out rain!

No hosepipe ban here in the heart of the country.. plenty of mud though.

[mike.perry]

Its stopped raining at last, lovely sunny day. They have just announced that the hosepipe ban is being lifted.
