You can protest without resorting to vandalising the publics things. Who are they protesting against, the public?

Well it's brought more eyes to the situation than if they'd have just whinged behind their keyboards about it.

I imagine many will see this statistic and question why they shouldn't water their garden tonight.

we need water to survive so its a pretty important resource so i have more sympathy for people complaining about misuse watering golf courses

I am biased as a golfer but if clubs can't water their greens then it will go a long way to spoiling the course at what is their peak season

Peoples private gardens being a bit brown for a few weeks is not as important
