Em 8?

Yes, Keaydian most definitely 8, it ended blue here.

Morning all - tea and coffee on

Morning Bunny, I think strong coffee is going to be needed today, damp outside and too much red on the screen (as expected)

Morning, I'll have the same as Opto.

Morning, I think I'll have a cup of tea, sunshine and blue on my screen please.

Good morning all. Life still difficult here with no tap water available and likely to be that way for up to a couple of weeks yet. Takes me back to life just after WWII. At least we have not had power failure in my area, so far!

Socrates, I did see the two weeks although that was for Gloucester so I had hopes your area would have escaped that length of time.

Bluelady - We are all served by the same water treatment plant at Tewkesbury, that's the source of the problem, or more to the point, not the source!

Sorry to hear that Socrates, I must admit it must be difficult and I guess it can't be easy.

Socs :>( Hope they sort something - water tankers - for you soon.

Morning all fram a dull Hastings.

Socrates, found something for you.

It is the sanitary arrangements that are difficult. It takes 7 litres to flush a loo. Since there is no mains water, there are no showers or baths or water for washing clothes. Water for washing/washing up has to be heated in a kettle since we have gas boiler which won't operate without mains water pressure.

The water and emergency services have provided lots of bottled water and there is a bowser in the next street to us. Drinking water is therefore not critical, but if the emergency lasts the two weeks they are estimating, life could become a bit fraught when we start running out of clean clothes.

We are lucky in that we are miles from the flood water. Those that have had a surfeit of water have my sympathy because their problems are just starting.

There are no cafes or restaurants open and some shops have also closed. Hopefully the supermarkets will make appropriate washing/toilet facilities available to their staff so that they may remain open. If they shut down, it will be a real problem.

Ok Socrates, I've been in countries where they go to the toilet outside, problem solved for the toilet. I've even been next to people who don't bother to wash their clothes or themselves. Also I have eaten off crockery from a german guy who washed up in cold water and no washing up liquid and still survived. But would I recommend it no way.

The only thing I can offer you is a virtual cup of piping hot tea and a steaming hot shower, once Keaydian gets out of it!!!
