The one by us was not refilled for 2 days & then (like buses) 2 tankers come along within half an hour of each other to fill it :blink: - i'm not complaining though, at least it's been refilled :thumbup:

Before ours was refilled I went to a bottled water distribution point to fill up a container where there was a hugh army water tanker, & I was helped by some very nice young soldiers ;)

Arris :D

Soldiers? Really? :eek:
On a serious note, I hope the bowsers are filled more frequently and tonight's rainfall isn't too severe for everyone. I am thinking of you all.

HI Tisme

I can only speak for tewkesbury but the bowsers are being filled up regularly where we are and they have a huge army container supplying water at the local supermarket in the town can t believe it but we managed to get into tewkesbury and stock up with food etc as most of the shops are now open and the fire department are still pumping out water from buildings they are all doing such a great job

Hi Eastbound,

Glad you're ok & you're bowsers a being refilled regularly :thumbsup:

Have you got the tempory water yet from your taps - the stuff we're advised not to drink, yet?

You're so right, the firemen/ladies, army etc are doing such a great job :thumbup:

Well, i'm off to check on the elderly couple across the road to see if their container needs filling.
*thinking, shall I got to the bowser in our road, or go & see the nice young men in the army ;)*

Take care & keep smiling (which you sound like you are :))

Arris :D
