Report out tomorrow to try and get it scrapped before the Olympics. What relevance it has to the Olympics I have no idea?

[SystemParanoia]

the field events are all on grass... they want to water it all lol

[BoRED S2upid]

Has this been imposed? has anyone had a fine? Ive never been subject to such nonsense so no idea if they impose these things.

[BliarOut]

I'd love to get my hosepipe out but it's been far too fking wet to go outside

But the venues must have had an exemption anyway, professional gardeners are allowed to use hosepipes now.

[SystemParanoia]

whats a "professional gardener" ? its like asking 3 randoms to define what a "Real" engineer is lol

Thames water useless s.

House pipe ban but when one of their monkeys drills into a water main it takes over two days to fix and shuts the central line.

s of the highest order.

"Anglian Water, Southern Water and Thames Water are to officially announce on Wednesday that their bans will end on Thursday."

Our garden was an inch underwater on Monday! Just standing water, not actually a flood - so no danger.

The relevance being tourists coming over in droves for the Olympics will think we're bloody mad if roads are still flooded and it's peeing down and they read we have drought and a hosepipe ban... ie: it will be lifted (as it has been today) to stop us looking like the idiots we are.

Crap. Must have been a bit of a concern. I saw photos of someone's garden with the water about 3 inches above the patio door level.

Nah, we live on top of a ridge

Just taken the dog for a walk in the woods - there were streams where I've never seen water before.

Telegraph reporting it will be the wettest June since records began over 100 years ago.

Ah, handy. I suppose we need the water. Although, some in the south east have probably had enough of it.

We had .75 of an inch of rain yesterday and have had probably 4 inches in the last month, which is very unusual for around here. Today I saw someone with a hose pipe watering his flowers.

Mind you not being lifted by South East Water, as their water comes froom underground and apparently all this rain hasnt soaked in yet.

[martin84]

Its been lifted for me!

[CoolC]

I can now wash the car using less water than I did using buckets and watering cans!!
