00:00Any rain. Now, we garden and so obviously that makes a big difference to us. So a host pipe ban would really affect us. We do have water butts, they're completely empty already this time of year. And so however many water butts you put up, you're not going to actually sort out the problem. And yeah, it would be a problem to have a ban at this stage. It's only May, we haven't even put our bedding plants in, it's a problem.
00:27Would you follow the rules?
00:29Yes, I would, because I'm like that. But I would find it very difficult, because what you have to do is collect all your water in the house, it's a good idea we do it, and then carry it out. We're okay, we're a flat level house straight out to the garden, but not everybody's like that. So yes, we would follow the rules, but it would be difficult.
00:48I don't have a view on Yorkshire water generally, but I would certainly stick to a host pipe ban if it was introduced.
00:56Are you a big user?
00:58No.
00:59Do you have a garden?
01:00It's very small. So yeah, and I live on my own, so yeah, I understand that it's a lot easier for me than it would be for other people.
01:08But I have seen like the low level in the reservoirs already, so it's a bit concerning, and I would understand the need for it, yeah.
