Of course, the problem with imposing a hosepipe ban is that you might drive it underground. That’s what they say about banning anything, like you shouldn’t ban fox-hunting because you’ll only succeed in driving it underground (prompting then perhaps horse-pipe ban?). And that could cause a lot of horse-related injuries on the tube. Similarly, wombling may have been an outlawed activity and look what happened with that.
Another, smaller, way we could save water is by painting less with watercolours. Or, as well as the recommendation made in times of water shortages of bathing with a friend, why not take a bath with an enemy? Keep your friends clean but your enemies cleaner.
