I am ok then, they won't want the authorities to know they are there.
Seriously so much bloody water wasted with this purge on putting meters in.

And >>>Every day, more than three billion litres of water – enough to fill 1,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools – leak from faulty pipes in England and Wales alone; nearly a quarter of what is put into the system never reaches the taps<<<<

There's that weird feckin' measurement again....4.54 litres = 1 gallon, a lot of litres = 1 Olympic-size swimming pool. They must have sneaked that one in after I left school, it was never on the outside cover of my old Maths jotter that one...

We have a ban here. I shall flaunt it obviously. Hose is connected to pressure washer so I will find something that needs blasting. Apparently businesses are exempt so I wont bother hosing down the yacht too much.
