The whole idea of forums is to stimulate debate, which you have succeeded in.
I think we should be able to add caveats to our posts like "know it alls need not comment" or " Victor Meldrews need not read further" etc etc
If nothing else it will make people stop and think if they belong in those categories!!

Late to the party on this one... though I was aware of FoO's problem. Everything's relative, granted, but in this heat in this country when you're used to being able to flush the loo and get drinking water from the tap, it's a jolt when you can't do it! The elderly and vulnerable are particularly at risk in such situations. I've just upgraded to being a three-water-butt household; they're only about a third full at the moment but at least if the water went off I'd be able to flush the loo a good few times - a handy back-up. The mention of keeping some bottled water with long sell-by date is also a good one. Generally we are blessed with reliable services, but keeping a little emergency stash is a good idea.
