    Hose-pipe ban

    Not sure if its Dave or Cleggie's job or somebody else's but it needs lifting. Done nothing but rain wherever I've been since Friday tea. I feel like that lad in Peanuts with the cloud round my head

    The hosepipe ban came in here at 6.00am last Friday but as i dont buy a newspaper and watch little TV i didnt know about until Monday so was merrily watering away in the garden. Apparantly i could have been fined up to £1,000

    Check who you pay your bills to. According to local papers and United Utilities website we're affected by the ban but we're actually supplied by Severn Trent. Only United Utilities customers are affected. I rang them and checked.

    The Leeds - Liverpool canal is closed as well between Wigan and Gargrave :thunbdown: No filling it up with a hose pipe then! Maybe if you go and stand near the highest point DT, it will fill up?

    Hopefully. British Waterways have said that it's closed until the situation improves so fingers crossed it's not long. Doesn't really affect us toooooo much as we don't have to go through the locks on our stretch unless we want to take the boat down to Skipton.

    Sadly Stef I don't get to spend anywhere near enough time on it and no we don't live on it It is my dad's boat actually, but as his daughter, and as he is away for 6 months every year leaving me to look after it, I claim half ownership by default :wink: It is in a truly beautiful spot just up from Gargrave :thumbup: Lovely and cosy with the wood burner going in winter and fantastic sitting out on the deck in the evening in Summer til late drinking wine.

    Oh i want to be there now :closed:
