Come Rain Or Shine.

I've not noticed the water board banging on about hosepipes and sprinklers so much during this latest simulation of a Saharan environment.
Nothing to do with their last assault, which coincided with the wettest May in living history, being somewhat usurped by the revelation that a major cities worth of water is keeping the stinging nettles alive every day, from their crappy old pipes, I suppose!
Or maybe their madvertising department has been sent off on a 'calm restoring' holiday in the Norfolk Broads?

I think I may go risk a sneaky hose down of the car, on the lawn of course!

You're always welcome to pop round here for a cup of water if things get desperate.

Don't worry Ted, it seems obvious that he doesn't want the stuff or he wouldn't be offering it out willy-nilly.
Saying that, and all his millions notwithstanding, I'll bet taking him up on his kind offer would involve parting with some cash. After all, what kind of fool would give away such a scarce commodity at the height of the worst drought that the World has ever seen?

My hosepipe's been dry for months now.

Doesn't mean it has to lie around going rotten. Perhaps you could offer it to local kids as a skipping rope?
