    One thing no one has pointed out yet - do people still have baths? Aren't showers supposed to use far less water than even a low filled bath?

    You can share a shower though, if you want to save water:thumb:

    "Good for 48hrs" so a bus shelter poster says that I notice driving along the main road.

    We have a bath - as in we have the piece of equipment with taps at one end - but we're not posh enough to have a 'shower room' or a 'wet room', so should we wish to save the water, it's just a matter of bunging the plug in the 'ole before turning on the shower. Simples!!

    My boy can run off 10 degrees of water having a shower, I can have a bath & only run off 2 degrees.

    I like to have a daily bath in the winter, even if I've had a shower after playing golf, but it's showers only during the hotter months, in heatwaves two or three in a day. But there's a "Cinderella situation" here in the North-west. You need to have one before midnight as later than that they halve the water pressure 'cos of all the un-fixed leaks.

    you believe the cover story then D R, The presure drops because they are secretly selling it to another water authority.

    When I lived in Wales, liverpool got our water cheaper than we had to pay for it:roll:
