LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
In response to your article ‘Water Bill Shocks Pensioner’ (Observer, July 9th) may I point out that hosing down his wife is most likely the cause of Mr Thistle’s astronomical water bill. Not only is this practice expensive, as Mr Thistle has found to his cost, it is also wasteful. Water is one of the Earth’s most precious resources and should be treated as such.
Even in this hot weather, one can keep perfectly cool and clean with the old wire brush and Dettol treatment. The experience is rendered more invigorating still by keeping the Dettol in the fridge.
Yours sincerely,
Dick Scraper
Traubert's Heath
The Editor replies:
Do any other readers have unusual, economical or practical suggestions for saving water? The Observer will pay £10 for each one published.
