There is a guy using a hose pipe in his garden

Chop the end of his hose pipe then wait till he goes to sleep before breaking into his house and leaving the chopped end of hosepipe on the pillow next to him.
 
Is the neighbour in possesion of a Blue parking badge?

IIRC most water boards give an exemption if you are, as long as you're being sensible, something to do with the fact that if you're healthy you can still use a watering can to keep your pots etc watered, but often not if you have mobility problems.
 
The Op still hasn't said what the hosepipe was being used for yet, if it wasn't watering his garden or cleaning a car he's probably using it legally.

They should stop calling it a 'hose pipe ban' and obvious it confuses people into thinking hose pipes themselves have been banned. Technically it's a watering your garden or cleaning your car with a jet of water ban.

Not really, you can still water your garden with a watering can, just not a hosepipe.

I would seriously begin the killing of every living creature within a 2 mile radius starting with the hose pipe guy then plough 100 metric tonnes of sodium chloride into the soil upto 1 meter deep .

Then and only then can you use your time machine to go back and systematically destroy his parents and grandparents ad infinitum, until you are killing humanoid looking monkeys living in caves.

its a start

I never said you couldn't. I said you are banned from cleaning your car or watering your garden with a "jet of water". Not the best of wording I admit but by that I was saying you can still water your garden with a watering can or a jug etc...

So pretty much a hose pipe ban. Certainly the most fitting name to call it.
 
I washed my car at the weekend, must have used 20 buckets of water easily - would have used less if I had used the hose pipe lol

Then used my hose pipe to spray down my BBQ after removing it from its winter coat.

No because my original point was that only two applications of using a hose pipe are banned, cleaning your car or watering your garden. That is different to saying that using a hose pipe for anything is banned.

As explained you can fill a swimming pool with a hose pipe legally so no the name "hose pipe ban" doesn't tell the whole story (and is evidenced by the confusion of a poster on the previous page who thought his brother in law was breaking the law by filling a paddling pool with a hose pipe).
 
You should take a picture of him and then threaten to dob him in if he doesn't give you a few hundred quid.

Better than a £1000 fine :p

Fake edit: I would not actually do this, I'm not a ****. Well I am, but I wouldn't do this.

So having a water fight or using it to just **** around with in the garden and annoy your cat is allowed?

no you can't, it's banned. Pretty much everything with a hosepipe is banned, hence hosepipe ban, there's a few exemptions, but by and large it's a ban on hose pipes. What else would you call it? Nothing else would explain it as nearly as well.
