[brightspark]

yup . we haven't had much rain lately I pumped the pit out a couple of month ago and its only half full of water. sometimes after rain it can fill in a couple of days just a couple of inches from the top

Pffft, north wiltshire - need a passport to go there anyway.

Now find a wessex water hosepipe ban since '76 - if you do, either your source or their website is wrong.

1978 was the last ban according to this site its states 38 consecutive years
