ah steve we will be all right mate a hose pipe is defined as a flexible hose connected to the mains more than .75 meters long just get a short hose straight to the di and then run your hose from the DI as it is no longer drinking water once it passes through the DI

well i'm glad it's only hose pipes their banning , if they banned any other "pipes" i'd be screwed come the weekend 

[Pj]

Who started all this anyway?

[steven842]

Just heard on the radio an hour ago Anglian water (thats my area) have just ordered a hosepipe ban, not worried yet its drought orders that might prove difficult.

hey DAN,Off topic but have you seen any of the town binwashers lately ?   iv not seen any,not that big red Sherpa that was Always about ,or that white merc , altho iv seen loads of bin lorries this year .

[rosskesava]

Looks like anytime soon I'll have to stop doing the 50 to 75 houses a day that I average all year round.

At the moment I'm earning about £2k to 3k a week so it'll mean cutting back on those few luxuries I allow myself.

Good job I'm signing on. Another plus is that I will still be able to use my disabled badge to sign on every 2 week.

[steven842]

The disabled badge holders club is handy i use mind for doing a big asda ...

doesn't every window cleaner sign on anyways?........

Rehearse after me :-

I use water collected from my roofs. (during last winter of course)

The water I carry came from Wales/Devon or Cornwall/Cumbria/Scotland*  - I drive there every weekend and buy my water there/fill up from a friend.

*whichever  is closest

  

I live in Devon, lucky me!

[stuart mc]

[gary999]
