Looks like United Utilities in the NW are struggling

Be interesting to see how the levels change this week.

Levels down just 3.7% this week. Seems like reserves are fine still.

Didn't stop my muppet neighbour jet washing his car last night.

It's the legal and moral debate again, isn't it?

Not a formal one, but we have a request to avoid using hoses and taking baths (linked further up thread). So while he's not breaking the letter of the rules, he is being a bit of a muppet.

Mine spent 4 hours jet washing the patio last night. Must have been thousands and thousands of litres. Not on a meter (obviously!)

Oh f*ck off now. Seriously.

Don't worry about a thing, that's not the real temp, just from being parked up. It'll be down to circa 30 after a couple of miles.

I pressure washed our patio a couple of weeks ago, it doesn’t use as much water as you’d think. Mine is 420l/hr maximum so likely a bit less in reality. Not that that’s a defence for ignoring a perfectly reasonable request from the water company.

It's just spray from p1stonhead's neighbour's jet wash.

You told me to go and buy a boat just a couple of months ago. Are you insured?
