HOSE PIPE BAN

How the hell can we be having a hose pipe ban? Surely a few days of dry weather isn't enough to send our water companies into a panic. We had hardly any summer last year and we have just had a ton of snow land on us and now they want to enforce restrictions on us. Here's an idea, fix the fecking pipes and sewers and keep hold of the water you already have and not try to restrict the water we want to use in the future. Near where I live there are at least 4 burst pipes spewing water and I'm sure this is endemic across the country. If we get these bans imposed on us will our bills come down? How do they tell who is using what in a block of flats and before you all shout 'water meters' you know and I know not all tower blocks have them. I remember a few years ago a fairly clever guy rigged up a system where used his dirty bath water on his garden. What he didn't know was that Maidstone council had hired a spotter plane to fly about seeking out lush gardens. The council penpusher, jobsworth knocked on his door and there he was with wife usind a stirrup pump using dirty bath water for his lawn. The council spud pointed out that tecnically he was still using a hosepie albeit in a clever way. They took him to court and the judge who was about 98 years old fined him £2000 which was bollox, but reduced to £1000 on appeal which was still a bit bollox. Instead of spending a fortune on a chinless wonder to fly around spying, why not provide leaflets to everyone showing us clever ways to use dirty water wisely. I thought the stirrup pump idea was great, so did the judge, but if I recall he was hanging on to his job by a slim grey whisker and did what he was told. I heard a rumour that several of the clever guys friends made annymous phonecalls to the council and just let the tap run for a few minutes then hung up. Bumbling Boris said we shouldn't panic as any hosepipe ban won't affect the olympics. One rule for them another crappy rule for us . Same as always. You know who to vote for, my appeal is in, send your vote to City Hall, we still have time, la la la
