For 18 months i have wanted to get an outside tap on the side of the house, so when i want to water my hanging baskets, i am not forced to trail a 30 metre hose from the back garden each time.
As luck would have it, earlier on in the week i popped down to see the wife and she is watching QVC and they have exactly what i have wanted for the side of house (a nice compact 20 metre hose reel). Great i order it and it arrived today, i unpack it set it all up and attach it to my new outside tap on the side of the house...and nothing comes out at all. FFS what's this crap QVC, it doesn't work. After 5 minutes of investigation, it turns out that not only is mains water off for my street, it is for most of my area.
It's going to be off for at least a day, there is a subway and a house currently under 10 foot of water due to the massive main that has split. Fire brigade are pumping it out so they can get to it to start the repair.
Never had water unavailable in my life, how ironic it happens on the one day when i get my new hose......sods law as they say....gotta love it.
