Yes, I know I've banged on about 'thank heaven we put the borehole in'

that borehole'!! I believe our water board is one of the most expensive
in the country but even so! Think of how much we must all cost ourselves
if we waste any - taps left running during teeth brushing, letting it
run down the sink while waiting for it to heat are just two that come to
mind.

Washing the car with a hosepipe.

IMHO, "...with a hosepipe" is superfluous. ;-)
