snipped, sorry

I heard an item on the radio about hoepipe bans generally, and what
you CAN do in spite of a ban. I can't remember them all, but you CAN
wash the dog or cat,, and even fill up a swimming pool, plus a few
other ridiculous things.

Pam in Bristol

I would be interested to trace that. Do you happen to recall which
station, programme, time and date?
