Following conflicting claims, the Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association has confirmed a joint statement with seven of the drought-affected water authorities, confirming the original legislation that you can fill up a newly constructed swimming pool with a hosepipe and top-up an existing swimming pool with a hand held device such as a bucket.
Water companies that are about to impose a hose pipe ban in drought-affected areas of England, are misleading pool and spa businesses and their customers about the ban’s potential impact. Advice, being given by the water authorities themselves, that hot tubs cannot be filled after April 5, is both misinformed and factually incorrect. Contrary to advice being issued, hot tubs and the filling of newly constructed swimming pools are not affected by hose pipe bans.

The Falkland Islands. If you get the opportunity, go there and experience a way of life we have sadly forgotten, writes Allen Wilson.
For instance, the ability to leave our cars and properties unlocked, strangers saying hello and welcoming you into their homes. Having said that, 18 hours of flying each way takes a toll. Following my trip, I watched on television, HRH Prince William disembarking from the same plane as I had travelled in, yet somehow looking remarkably fresher than I did. According to Wikipedia, the Falkland Islands are an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, located over 250 nautical miles East of the coast of mainland South America. The island group consists of East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 lesser islands. Stanley, the capital and only city, is on East Falkland.
