Nope. Still on mains at the moment and when we move on Tuesday, it's to rain water for all drinking and hot water. Only the toilet and washing machine will be on bore water which apparently tastes unpleasant here. But I've always lived on private untreated water supplies so I'm used to it. Probably picked up something from a friend's kids I saw several days before and they were ' under the weather ' whilst I was ill...

Reminds me of the time when my sister was 2 years old. We were away from home staying in a cottage in the lake district and it had been a very bad drive there. Then I had had to walk to the bottom of the track, strip off my waterproof and all my warm layers and immerse my arm shoulder deep into a pit of water (middle of the night thing under torch light) to turn the water supply on. Go back 1 mile up track now freezing cold and put my brother and sister to bed after making them. Light fire and wait for life to warm up. Fire always needed supervising when wind from a certain direction. Typical lakes weather outside...
My sister comes down complaining that it's raining indoors. What? Go back to bed. She can't talk properly yet, too young. Hour later we repeat only it's her sitting on the stairs... She takes herself back to bed after threats of death. It's now past midnight, no sign of parents and I'm expected to wait up for them.
Half an hour later I hear her crying on the stairs. It's raining in the bedroom.... The ceiling's raining. It's raining onto the bed. I'm warmer by this stage, my best friend is now fast asleep.... So I relent and call her down... She's soaked and it's not her usual bed wetting. And I mean soaked. I grab a towel, strip her down in front of the fire.... Blanket and go upstairs to see what's going on. Sure enough it's definitely raining on the bed from a 2 year olds point of view. It's dripping out of the ceiling and raining on the bed!
The only thing up there in the roof above it (we know this cottage very well) is the header tank for the hot water system heated by the open fire, and bare slates. A fault somewhere on the system meant that the cold water in the header tank was now boiling since I had lit the fire, condensing on the cold slates and dripping through the ceiling onto the bed...
It was definitively raining in the bedroom.
Only a 2 year olds logic and language skills would come up with that one.
We laugh now but then....

I picked up something when the grandchildren stayed overnight. Still not quite right.

That's not a like for the pipeline aspect, as all beer should be delivered by heavy horses pulling beer waggons.
Sorry, I missed where you have gone to. Enjoy.
