Believe me, it is very obvious from flow meter info when this waste of water take space and how it gets cut out with a hosepipe ban.

This is hypothetical, as said before even though we pay £600 a year to the water board we dont have enough water pressure to fill a pint glass, never mind use a hosepipe

I see your point, leaving a sprinkler on for hours is a waste but surely we should geta rebate??? On the flipside, lets say you've just spent £15k having your garden landscaped - should you not be allowed to water your investment, within limits of course?

not those who recycle most of the waste water in big, underground, storage and filtration tanks

plus i am in the north east, we do not have a problem up this way

Q.What happens to the wastewater?
A.Over 80% of water is recycled and waste is removed from all used water. Waste is then stored on site and regularly removed by environmentally approved contractors.

Can you get subaus through your car wash? I am scared to use the one near me incase it rips my big spoiler off. That spoiler compensates for my tiny ***** you know

mine goes through all the time

if the spoiler will cause a problem (mine is fine, and i know the sti2+3+low level jobies are fine) the operator can press a handy button called "hori1" or cunningly "hori2" which will lift the horizontal brush clear of any problems

i did put a sti8 style one through mine once and i lifted the brush as a precaution as its quite upright with no real angles (if you know what i mean)
