    now every year we have the wettest day since.... hotest day since... windest day etc etc so with all this wet we are bound to have a really hot spell so no doubt have a hosepipe ban (only in the north tho)

    That's the problem we do not collect it. Not enough reservoirs. It just flows out to sea via rivers.
