    I was on-site at the weekend. I noticed your shed is still defying gravity! I certainly wouldn't risk going in there for a pee!

    My last place didn't have water and it was a pain in the summer. My first place had dip tanks and I had to run back and forth with the cans - better than nothing though.

    This site is more per plot (£50 now) but with a shared stand pipe right next to my gate (I never use it though, I use my own personal private stand pipe at the back of my plot).
    It sounds like you go for a pee there!

    In my town all sites are charged at 40p per square metre, water included.
    So for my new plot, which is 131 square metres, I'll be paying £52.40 a year.

    That's about what my plot will cost at the next bill, due in September, but that is for a full-size 10 rod plot - so still think it's a bargain

    £25 for my plot in SW London (5 rods, water is included).
    Though it will likely go up by £10, as last year's water bill was very high due to the hot summer.

    This new one in north Hamoshire cost my Dad a whole £9! Got over 60's discount plus some more off for taking it on late in the year.

    My previous half plot in Manchester cost me £43 inc. society membership and insurance. They didn't do student discount sadly!
