The trouble is that they use helecopters to check for hosepipes. And if they see a hosepipe with water coming out of it, there is no way for them to tell where it is coming from. Although I don't know where you would stand legally.

I think businesses that need the water, like farms, car washes, etc... should be exempt, because it stops their income otherwise. But you can still play golf on a dry course with brown grass. It may not be as good, but you can still play.

Now yes you could buy generator but it will run on fuel source.
I would think 75% of our contry could not do with either gas or electric so it mute point they are just as important to live. Without heat we die in the cold without food cooked we cant survive. Although second we can go out buy fish and chips cooking is agreed not a comodity. However it still depends on income whether you can afford or physically able to go out to get something to eat.
What you think my idea to support the restructure by taking big cakes in ownership.

Actually Maggy is right. They can cut your gas or electric off, but they can't cut your water off.
You can eat food that doesn't need cooking, and you can wrap up with loads of layers of clothes and blankets to keep warm. But you can't survive without water.
