Default Throwing out baby ...

Sacha scribbled:

In the drought of 1976 people were positively encouraged to do this
and many a bathroom had a hosepipe wriggling out of its window. To a
lot of people's surprise, the soap in the waste water did wonders for
getting rid of greenfly!



I remember someone being taken to court for using a hose pipe to do just
that in '76. Apparently some "do-gooder reported him to the water
Auth.During a hosepipe ban the source of the water is not an issue, the use
of a hosepipe is. So yes re use bath water but be careful who is watching!
