Not in my area - supposedly.

Although South East water and Southern sounds pretty much the same to me  :))

Still needs to be washed.

Might go and wash the car today to celebrate that others within miles from me had their restrictions lifted  :))

First sunny days in ages as well ....

Tbh it's all irrelevant anyway as with all your butts and the amount of rainfall recently you've collectively probably got more water than the water companies anyway...lol

Tefal - that's another goodun! :lol:

I still think the rain water in the butts is better than the hard water out of the tap - which ends up marking the car...?

@Raj....I can sell you some if you're short?  And leave my butt out of this! :))

@Sanj......irrelevant once the DI Vessel finally comes (w/c 25th June?).  At least I've now got a 'reserve supply' as the weather will now go super dry so the ban'll be back...where's that Desert Smiley?

@Sp3ctre.......Oi!  Give us our smilies back..... :P
