"Ne'er mix the grape and the hop," as my old man used to say, silly beggar! You get a far wuss hangover through drinking rubbish wine or rubbish beer, the mixing don't seem to make a lot of diff, in my experience.Never mix the grapevine or some wise saying

Pressure will only be reduced while the xxx is filling because of reduced flow, once full, pressure will be the same both sides of the stop cock.Could turn yourstop cock right down to reduce the pressure may help
It's a bit like electrical resistance. It'll lower the effective pressure when the water is flowing - the more you let out the more the pressure will drop. With everything turned off, the pressure will be back up at 8-10 bar pretty quickly. So the poor old hosepipe will be straining at the seams if it's got one of those nozzles you can turn off. It's probably because you're in a hilly area @derwendolly People higher up will be complaining to the water board that their water isn't coming out properly so they've got to pump it quite hard. Something similar happens in parts of Derbyshire near me. People in the valleys have water that explodes out of the tap and hits the sink with such force that any crockery can be blown out onto the floor. An acquaintance of mine lost quite a lot of cups and plates that way, not to mention getting sprayed in the face with splashback.Could turn yourstop cock right down to reduce the pressure may help
They put water in the wine here"Ne'er mix the grape and the hop," as my old man used to say, silly beggar! You get a far wuss hangover through drinking rubbish wine or rubbish beer, the mixing don't seem to make a lot of diff, in my experience.
Drink water at the same time is a wise thing to do, so I have heard!! (Which is why Frogs allus have pitchers or bottles of watter ont table.) And I mean "carafes" not "pictures", that wouldn't do any good now would it!!!???
. He wouldn’t go beginning of the week in fairly calm weather and today’s only gusting to mid 20’s so there’s 400 cattle sitting on concrete until he gets the nerve to sail again. Apparently he doesn’t like this run
Glad to hear your experience has been better. Some tenants are like me and try to keep the place in one piece and go round filling holes, touching up paint, renewing tap washers and screwing door handles back on when they fall off. So the minor maintenance on this place from the landlord's point of view is virtually zero.
They don't, I only pay for water.
The pipework at the main stopcock on my side is already set up for a meter.Sadly yes I do remember that.
I am thinking that as you have the right to have a water meter fitted that may force them to come and do all the work needed to sort you and your problems out.
We have a pressure reducing valve, as do many peeps over here as it is needed to stop the white goods going "pop" they are really not very complex things.
Changing to a water meter
Your right to have a water meter installed and the pros and cons of switching to a meter and be charged for actual water usage compared to being charged based on the rateable value of the property.www.citizensadvice.org.uk
I bet a water meter has to operate on a lower pressure, others may know more accurately.
At any rate I don't think you have anything to lose by trying.
I live very rurally. My supply comes off the big main pipe as it travels from the huge one which is ongoing for many miles to other distant villages. It comes along the side of the adjoining farmer's field before reaching the little lane which runs through our hamlet Here, this pipe is fitted with all the necessary 'bits', including a prv, before it carries on away from our little hamlet and on and on and on to ? I am the only person in our hamlet who uses this 'new' supply everyone is still on the old disintegrating pipework. My supply is under so much pressure because it is 't'd off into my side garden from this main pipe BEFORE the prv is installed. All workers who have been given the job refuse to do it in my garden stating that it must be put on where my supply is 't'd into the main one BEFORE it comes onto my property. I have already had 2 major bursts between my stopcock and the main pipe where it is 't'd, the last one needing lots of work to reinstate my patio and taking four months to complete because of the amount of damage done to the underlying ground, four of the original paving slabs or any pieces of them have ever been found and all but four of the other twelve were found in pieces amongst the mud! It seems that this leak had been there for many months before it appeared overground - under my patio. Damage to the foundations of my bungalow is still to be assessed and can't be done properly until the ground dries out - this is over a year ago now and after all the rain over the last nine months the chances of it happening any time soon are remote! All workers agree that water under this pressure should not be entering my property and a prv is needed BEFORE it comes over my boundary. I do not store water anywhere in the house everything comes directly from the mains. ( I won't go into the costs of all the ruined appliances before the reason for all the troubles was discovered). I have had a prv installed before my (second)CH boiler. My house stopcock is hardly open! My gardener was lucky to be alive when the second hopepipe burst less than a meter away from him, even the visiting water company inspector remarked that this was very dangerous!!!!
It's almost off as it is!Could turn yourstop cock right down to reduce the pressure may help
