    It'll take a lot of wet wipes to do your bike Johnny.

    One of the few advantages of living in the North East. I've never known us have a hosepipe ban yet :cool:

    We're on granite here so the water runs into the dips in the middle and we just put up a sign that say 'reservoir'. Kent's all chalk see, like a big sponge, soaks it all up. They're like the buff puff of the UK.
