Having a barbecue on tinder dry grass and leaving glass bottles which can act as a magnifying glass seems irresponsible to me…..

That's extra to the 50,000 litres that they brought with them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Of course I support the ban if we are so short of water. However it does get my goat when I am struggling to use shower water and used kitchen water to water my plants, and carrying everything around in tubs and watering cans, when I go to B and Q or any of the garden centres and the whole of their outdoor display is running with water all over the floors etc ! I appreciate they may pay a lot more than me and are a business, but if there is no water, there is no water !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 It was probably last night it is amazing how long heat can be held for and with the sun on the glass it would quite possibly ignite the fire, one spark is all it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriT Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Nevermind Rob Callister and his wife have walked past the reservoir today and he assures us that the water levels are looking good. He’s never short of moronic content to provide his Facebook followers with. No doubt they’re reassured that they won’t die of thirst this week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc.fixit Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I'm not sure why it's so important that rivers are kept topped up from reservoirs while consumers are rationed. I would have thought that rivers had to take care of themselves long before human intervention. Just musing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
