Severn Trent Water Authority issued the following press release a short while ago.
Press Release
The Authority has decided that a hosepipe ban will be introduced as from midnight on 25th July 2007 in Gloucester, Tewkesbury, and Upton on Severn. The Authority is mindful of the recent inclement weather in these areas but is concerned that reservoir levels will suffer if people persist in washing their cars, and watering their lawns.
Consumers are urged to store as much water in their homes as they possibly can.

My better half who I'm lucky to have tells me I do a lot of that!!

Well... apart from some conversations that I hear on the bus! |

Written by coosh (922 comments posted) 25th July 2007 | | You say that, we've just had two rain-free days and they have implemented a hosepipe ban - moreover, they offer a few hundred quid to snitch on your neighbours. Nicely done, particularly the last line. |
Written by Livinginanattic (473 comments posted) 25th July 2007 | That's the difficulty with writing spoof news stories. Maybe not true but strangely plausible and something I'd half expect to hear on the 6 O'Clock news.
Perhaps if you went into the decision making process you could take this in a bizarrely surreal direction which would clear up any doubts that it's 'not news'.
Cheers,
Ben

Written by Seagull (174 comments posted) 25th July 2007 | I was thinking that way myself; maybe I've invented a new genre - news stories that are made up but could be possible.... What? Forget it, apparently The News of The Screws have been doing that for years.
