yes I have but I won't spend money unnecessarily and it is a bit complicated. My neighbour's son is plumber and offered to do it but I don't want him to and if I got anyone else they would be offended.It is good exercise for me...

Re: Hosepipe bans
I am all for making life as easy as possible, understand what you are saying but what about in the future when you may not be able to carry a water bucket?.At the beginning of this year I though I was fit and healthy, even to laying 96lb paving slabs and putting up a greenhouse. Now I am as week as a kitten in a few short months. You never know what is around the corner so I have prepared in advance for any future type things that might happen hopefully

if it gets too much I will fit a tap or maybe I will move before then, I would like a smaller house.

BTW call me old fashioned but the convention is to give proper names capital letters; as in Australia. However 8 out of 10 for effort perhaps next time it will make sense.

The subject is 'hosepipe bans' not 'British hosepipe bans'
