No water in the taps*.

Oh well! I suppose we shall just have to drink wine.

*Effecting whole street. Burst water main. United Utilities aware of and working on the problem.

But flushing the loo with wine would be a waste!

From:

purplecat

Too true. Apparently we are promised water again at midnight "if all goes well" (an ominous phrase if I ever heard one).

Maybe a Tiger came to someone's house and drank all the water out of the taps... -N

From:

purplecat

This is a very plausible scenario. The tiger also visited every other house in the street.

Thankfully the water was back on this morning!

Hee, I came here precisely to ask if Louise had had a tiger come to tea; I did wonder if someone had got there first :-)

There are worse ways to spend an evening than drinking wine. Of course, it won't help much when it's time for a shower.

From:

purplecat

Luckily for the representative of the European Space Agency who I was giving a demo to today, the shower was working again this morning.

*laughs* Little does that person realize how close they came... ;)
