araf Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Don't bother. According to the Times (page 9, Wed 5th April) the following are exempt from the ban. Filling/topping up swimmingpools Filling/topping up ponds Washing patios, paths, driveways, patio furniture, cycles and motorcycles. Water fights with neighbours. Banned are Watering plants & lawns Washing cars, trailers, caravans. I have my copy of the paper very safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabie Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 washed my bike after a very wet and muddy trial on sunday. what we've done is wire up two hoses together from two water butts and plug it into the pressure washer. apparently there is a national shortage of taps and other bits for water butts though but as araf say get your kids to have a water fight. i believe the interpretation is down the to water company of some specifics, but ultimately its down to your neighbours to report you on the other hand MX rules let you pressure wash your bike at the venue, while trails rules say you can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun1664 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 If you were to pay for petrol in advance and then the bloke stopped you half way through and told you "sorry fuel shortage & by the way you can't have half your money back" would that be OK? On the other hand you pay water rates for the full service but get told you can't use a hose cos it didn't rain enough and they can't be bothered to fix their leaky pipes. That will encourage them to fix the problem then .... Still maybe when Fatty Two Sh@gs gets finished groveling to her indoors he will sort things out.

arun1664 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Strangely enough I must be in the one area in the SE that doesn't have a ban (good old Portsmouth water) but its the principle of operation of the water companies gets right up my nose ...
