That's OK, I'm connected to Thirlmere, gazzillions of gallons of water, the South are planning to pump water round the country.
Unless you plan pumping some of the wealth up here we stand united

I won't need it, I can still use what I need for my purposes, just the garden will be a bit parched if we have dry summer

Porpoises do you mean porpoises, how big is that tank

I need to flush the filters twice a week othe summer, daft thing is it will go down the drain, I can't be seen watering the waste water on to the garden with a hose that would then contravene the hosepipe ban

One of my neighbours has a converted pool, now a pond, he is 6 ft higher than me and the pond leaks.
The grass is beautiful where the leak runs across the lawn

I read an article yesterday, they advise washing cars with "grey" water, can imagine Toeknee driving round with the car smelling of "comfort spring bouquet"

At the end of the day it is all pathetic really, we in Lancashire have a gravity fed water system from Thirlmere in Cumbria to Manchester, it takes 36 hours for the water to flow from one end to the other. It was built and works for the local population, what happens in south (SE), they build more houses, for more people with little regard for how they will be, fed, watered, educated, policed etc and then wonder why Anyway rant over.

The plan here is to have a new railway coming through this area from Lodon to Birmingham at a cost of £33 billion, so this will cost a lot more in the long run, all this to travel from London to Birmingham twenty five minutes quicker that the train does it at the moment, is it for Londoners to get to Birmingham for water
Wouldn't the money be better spent on pipeline
Whilst we have these restrictions on water, Thames Water will still not be wanting any less cash for the shareholders.

Unless he pipes it up to the other house waste water system and then it won't be smelling of "comfort spring bouquet"

some people call manchester dirty drug problem city but on the cb net work is called rainy city at times like this with hosepipe bans coming in the south east its a good place to live ,may be we should sell the south some of out crystal clear water and in doing so reduce our water rate bills i am sure that if it was the other way round the south would sell it us

on a serious note i do sympathise with you over the last few decades lots of new houses and factories have been built but with no significant up date of the services by the water companies esp no new resavoirs have a look at greased lighting showroom shine it states you can wax your vehicle without washing it. rainy-city

I got some and have used it quite a lot

Does what it says on the tin - but as many have pointed out it is really a detailing spray

So give the car a good wash and wax before the hose pipe ban starts - then just a bucket rinse and detail polish  2002 Honda VFR800
2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker
2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

Are there any regulations against washing your car by a river?

using no soap of course At work
At home

If they start the railway line today it won't have a train running on it before 2026, as for putting the pipe below it, that will need to be deep, 17 miles of the track through the Chilterns will be tunnels.
