You have never been to Scotland then I take it? It rains 300 days per year here. No need to water the garden ever it's usually soaking. People go mad and take their tops off when it hits 14C and you get to see the Sun in between the clouds of rain.
Haha fair
Unfortunately not true for all of us. Damn meters.
We've just spent ages going through how much better meters are than unmetered supplies, you'd need to use absolutely ludicrous amounts of water to run up the rateable charge for most larger houses!
