This heatwave won’t last forever. But our water habits might need a humorous reboot. So next time you grab a hose, think of that 150-year-old pipe under your street, sweating in the heat. It’s doing its best.
And remember: Thames Water isn’t the villain. The sun is. So go ahead, take a quick shower, water your basil with a tea cup, and embrace the glorious absurdity of it all. You’re not restricting water—you’re being a legend.
Stay cool. Stay weird. Stay slightly less thirsty than normal.
