I live in a first floor flat, the mains water pressure is falling and my combi is struggling to produce decent hot water shower pressure. But my water tank gives great pressure, so could I feed the how water from the tank to the combi and cold shower water from the mains?

I always though electric showers were meant to be slightly poop, need a combi for heating.

I think it is still within the Thames Water minimum pressure and the shower is still useable!

Lower than it was, would be the correct phrase.

Because my kitchen cold tap has lower pressure.
