Your Letters
Surely the best way to save water when showering (Caroline, Tuesday's letters), is to ensure that someone else is in the shower WITH you and thereby it's a two for one deal. I must do some more research...

Caroline Brown may well have a water meter, but she clearly doesn't have an electrically-heated shower. If I turn it off and then on again, the water comes through scalding (as I found out to my cost). Don't try this at home, folks!

Re: Caroline Brown (Tuesdays Letters) - save water? I had a 20 minute shower this morning and plan on a bath tonight. I left the water running when I brushed my teeth and flushed the loo twice... You dont have to save water if you don't want to. You can move to the North!
Marc, Oldham (The North)
Re Caroline Brown's letter, I don't have a water meter, but I do remember showering in Crete once. After I'd lathered myself up, the water system just stopped (as it often did in that area). After a long wait, I gave up and went to bed, by which time I'd set. Every time I moved in bed, I crackled.

Matt Tuesday's letters, I thought for a moment that you were implying that Bench Girl (Has Drunk Girl changed her name?) didn't used to be a girl!

I struggle to think of something witty enough to warrant a letter, let alone steel myself for the disappointment and blow to my ego when Magazine Monitor doesn't consider it funny enough to publish but John Whapshott of Westbury thinks of one witty comment and he gets published twice he was so witty.
