Waterbut empty!!!!

Oh dear, is it not connected to a downpipe Poppy, mine are all full and I even borrowed my recycling bin when I exhausted all other options...

Yes lincslass it WAS full till I used it up,nothings changed down below as far as I can tell,I cant understand why its not filled up.

Oh heck!!!!! I guess you are right then and do need a man and his ladder, must be a blockage somewhere, thats a real shame after waiting so long for some rain, I hope you get it sorted...

A wad of leaves in the downpipe? Could explain the trickle.

I thought that because the rain was horizontal for much of the day it missed your bin completly.....

LOL, Pam, thats a good one...

Could be right Pam wasnt it a terrible day,and freezing too,daytime heating back on!!!! No leaves anywhere near house roof Ojib,did wonder about nesting birds though there were starlings up there somewhere on neighbours side last year.

Oh :o( How disappointing for you. I hope you find the cause and are able to put it right before the next rainy day.

Hope nobodys syphoning it off Poppy, its gonna get like gold if it doesn`t rain soon.lol.

I had this problem Poppy, after paying £29 for a new water butt with lid. A man told me the washers behind the tap go rotten in 6 months. So it had been standing in the GC and elsewhere and had been sold to me with a rotten washer in. Seems you have to remember to get spare ones and change them. The man wanted it, and offered to swop it for a compost bin, so I did as couldnt stand having to remember the wretched washer change.

Flippin Ekk Di,is NOTHING made to last these days???? I knew the washers needed replacing but not SO soon only had it nov last year I paid £25 for mine from Wicks,a friend bought one today from Argos only £20 when she went to pay, said £27.99 in book if anyone wants a bargin.......or are they!!!

I sometimes get an airlock in my little feeder pipe to the water butt Poppylinda. But don't ask me how to fix it because OH does it and I never pay attention! ;)
