 Hi,

 In the news, how does it effect WFP !

I don't think it matters to us really.
You are a tradeperson you need it for your livleyhood.
(however you spell that word)
WFP may raise some eyebrows but you should be ok.

[The Fox]

In the Daily Mail

The Goverment watchdog wants a hosepipe ban across southern England within weeks.
It also wants a ban on window cleaning and watering public parks

It also states

Farmers may be forced to turn off their water irrigation systems while car washes and other businesses which use a lot of water could have to close

I do not think they will allow windows to be cleaned with WFP if things are that bad

I don't think it matters to us really.

No you don't need it.
How did you clean windows before you had it?

we are still on a hose pipe ban here in sussex.

just spoke to southern water & they said to me the ban would not effect window cleaning & wfp as this is a buisness,

was told there are plenty of other restrictions first.

its how i make my living, pay the bills mortgage etc,

if the government is so worried about the lack of water down here why not start building more houses up north, problem shared problem halfed, but thats the problem, labour is northern so its not there problem,

I get my water from my two water-butts!

[macc]

hows the water get in the butts tosh. 

[Jeff Brimble]

Water that falls onto a roof and is collected is deemed rateable.
There was a minister on today that mentioned wall washing and building cleaning being part of the enforcement, but hopefully thats when they use constant sprayed water over months to clean.

Ah, well, er!

Good question, but I'm not answering!

[pjulk]

We still have a hosepipe ban going from last summer.

Window cleaners are fine with a hosepipe ban it does not affect them.

It will only affect them if a drought order was bought in

Hmm wonder if we could sell our waste water to gardeners 

[stuart webster]

Imagine the scene, people collecting water at standpipes, grumbling.
Along comes the happy WFPer, seamingly using copious amounts of water.
Angry crowd gathers, happy WFPermakes quirky comment.
What happens next..............?

Wot about customers who say "I don't think I should have my windows cleaned while there's a drought on!"?

[Morph]

Give them a dryclean ...

If only....

[Morph]

Last customer I did today has a well in his garden.  He has installed a very sophisticated irrigation system all round his garden from it.
He says he knows a company who will come and drill in your garden if you think there may be an underground well.  If they find one they charge you for driling, if they don't find one.. no charge!
Think I'll get them out to drill just the other side of the meter

[Roy Harding]

My system sucks moisture from the air by condinsation then fillters it down too pure.

Send me £200 and Ill send some photos
