Haven't had any water in our flat for the last 3 hours. I phoned the water board and apparently there is a burst pipe a couple of roads away and they have had to shut off all the water over quite a wide area because of this emergency. We don't have a water tank, our entire supply comes from the mains, and we can't even flush the loo
and I usually do my laundry Sundays, so that's out too. Thank goodness that Nate's delivery of root beer arrived in the week, at least I have something to drink.

There's not much worse than not having any water, but hopefully it will be running again in the next few hours!

That would be very annoying, especially if you need to shower and be somewhere..

That's a lousy way to spend the day. Don't drink too much root beer or you might have to make a trip to a public toilet.

I'm sorry you don't have water. My apartment complex likes to shut off our water about once a week... at random times. It's kind of like a game you never wanted to play.


You don't get Root Beer in the UK?

Thanks everyone, it came back on after a few hours but not early enough to do everything I needed to get done!

The only one we've found here was a 2 litre bottle of something that tasted absolutely disgusting - obviously a cheap UK manufacturer's idea of root beer, rather than the real thing. Nate orders crates of the stuff online though, there's a uk based distributor that specialises in mail order American drinks and candy
