AS we were filling our bottles at the tank earlier we said to each other that you don't realise what you take for granted until it's not there.

I don't imagine the people who filled dustbins were planning on using it for drinking. At least I hope they weren't. I was thinking more in terms of loo flushing and hand washing at the very least. It would be passable for that. There's a notice on the tank not to use it for drinking or food preparation unless it's boiled. Just realised something. I think that notice was ONLY WRITTEN IN ENGLISH!

Thanks to those who offered water and Mez for the offer of the use of facilities. heehee. Keeping fingers crossed now that it stays on and I can get me hair wash tomorrow! :eek:

To me the fact that it was only in English shows the ignorence of the management at their customer base. :mad:

Yes Spuggie that was my first thought too. My second thought was that those who couldn't read the English managed to find the water but could have assumed that it was OK to drink without boiling it first. The point being that if Gayle can take the time to consider translating a poster for International Women's Day into Urdu then surely UU could do the same when it's a matter of health and safety. :confused:

No, it shows that we are in England. If you want to live in England it is quite handy if you speak English. If you don't speak English then you may be in need of extra water for washing your hands :rolleyes:

I speak English and I could have been in need of water to wash my hands etc because but for my daughter coming in after the tank had been plonked there and asking me what it was I would not have known about it probably until it was dry.

You lost me there Neil. Anyway I have enough trouble speaking English as it is. I get blank looks at work when I speak. One good point is not having to do presentations.

They could have had a box of lemons for people to help themselves to when they collected their water, to ward off scurvy.

Glad you're all back on tap, so to speak.:)
