[Alf]

A minister calls for a hosepipe ban in Britain (a country surrounded by water)

I suggest you all water the lawn tomorrow.

no time for fun in this horror summer

A hosepipe ban and we're a country surrounded by water. :D:joker:

And water companies in the UK lose 2.5BILLION litres of water everyday through pipes leakage. :nono::shocked::shocked::shocked:

And 'we' can't water our small gardens. :p :D

yes and you better listen or all of you will receive major fines

[arista]

Yes the Private Water Companies
can not afford to Fix the Leaks., Gusto

But they can Borrow money
and fix them.

The New PM
said to be Liz Truss

Needs to say they must Fix them from Day One
of her term.

[bots]

new leaks are found and repaired every day, but the whole water system is completely broken in many places and there is no easy fix. So the government wont do squat about it

[thesheriff443]

The facts are, we pay for the water we use so you hose pipe rebels are lining the pockets of the water companies.

[Nicky91]

so britain hasn't got rainfall few days ago, and last week?


we did here in Netherlands (last week twice, once during the day unexpected and in evenings with thunderstorms, few days ago too some rain at night)

[Nicky91]

don't need to water our plants here now thankfully


deep in the ground they still have quite some water reserve for their roots as well so


watering your plants everyday is like spoiling children rotten, if you don't water them, they need to learn to find water deeper below themselves ;) otherwise they'll never grow longer roots




meanwhile our next door neighbours sit in a pool every day and every day wasting water refreshing that :rolleyes:

[Nicky91]

btw using hosepipe to water the plants is not necessarily bad, but it more depends on what time of the day


its best to do that when there is no longer lots of sunshine so closer to the evening, lesser water waste and it actually going into the ground and to the plants, rather than in sunshine where most water vaporizes before it reaches the ground


we've always done it like that, closer towards the evening and looking at our rainradar app Buienradar if something is coming, if rain is coming then we don't use hosepipe obviously



and as for showering, my shower time is between 5 and 10 minutes, sorry not sorry, but in lesser than 5 minutes i cannot shower and i hate to be stinking like sweat before i go to sleep

Yes of course in Main Streets
they must fix it.
And pay for bottled water.
We are not talking about them


These other Big Leaks on old
Victorian Pipes that the Well Off Private Water Companies
are fully aware
is Outright refusing to Fix.
They have let them Leak Water forever?


Of Course they can Borrow Cash
and get every leak fixed


And The New Leader
Liz Truss
can instruct them to Fix these Old Leake's
by taking a Cash Loan

[bots]

but who will pay for it Arista? I will tell you, the UK public, so it is not going to happen

[arista]

but who will pay for it Arista? I will tell you, the UK public, so it is not going to happen


The Rich Water Companies
they have Profits



Take Out aditional POXY loan

Increase water bills
later


But Get it Fixed

[bots]

thats not how it works Arista, as you know well

[rusticgal]

The Hosepipe police flying over and seeing Alf's the only one with a Green lawn :laugh:

I am pretty sure we are due rain next week and then it probably won't stop

maybe if the water companies stopped paying their CEOs fortunes and used it to stem the leaks that would fill 1200 Olympic sized swimming pool every 24 hours we wouldn't need to have hosepipe bans

Other countries manage on far less rain fall and dont introduce these measures

They're perfectly welcome to pay my water bill for me this month if the don't want me to use water.

You should tell them that we're an Island surrounded by water. Maybe they haven't noticed?
