Got to wait for it to leak

And what's a council owned house?
I admit one of the reasons I love reading the forums is seeing the different verbage used by those of you in England as opposed to the US

Though I suppose you hear that a lot.

Owned by local authority, also know as something else called social housing (I think)

Ahh. Thanks.

I lived in a caravan for several years and frozen/burst pipes were an almost daily occurrence in winter - even my kettle used to freeze solid if I forgot to empty it at night.

That was before water meters so leaving a cold tap slightly running was one solution, or turn off at the stop tap and open all cold taps.

Right, Mel...that's what I do as I live in my RV full-time. I leave the bathroom sink tap running at a teeny tiny stream as it is the furthest line from where the water enters the trailer. I don't have to leave it on 24/7, only when I know it's going to hit zero or below. Beats having busted water pipes...aaaack!!
