Dilute it.

There of course would be not be a problem if we hadn't have let in 10 million thirsty Muslims under Labour.

I thought these measures were to try and conserve water. Surely, showing people how to get round it is rather irresponsible?

Now how does one dilute water?

You've got a point there, but why just blame the Muslims, yes they could help by quenching their thirst with Ale, just like the rest of us.

But there is some truth in your obviously sarcastic remark, just like the problem with overcrowded schools, hospitals, housing stock etc, certain parts of England are overcrowded, and that along with usually dry conditions that is the reason for the shortage of water.

"Disabled users
The hosepipe ban doesn’t apply if you’re registered disabled — so long as you’re actually holding the hose (really!). Oh yes, and provided you live in the South-East, Thames and Sutton and East Surrey catchment areas."

Well I presume that, that particular Water Authority rightly assumes that if one is disabled, it would be harder to water one's garden by carrying heavy water receptacles around.
