I had high hopes for today: coding, learning some DB replication stuff. Coffee.
Except ... the water is off due to a burst main, and it's not every day you find a wasps nest attached to the curtain in the spare room ... 
OK, change of priorities time ...
Anyone know where I can get some water?

Set the curtain that contains the wasps on fire. Call the fire-department, and within 7 minutes you'll have water gushing into your house.
As an alternative, you could simply ask a neighbour if you can use their toilet

Probably does, but he already said he doesn't have water. So, can't flush.
For clean toilet water you'd have to ask the neighbour

Gotcha - Even though flushing is a non-functional requirement, to some extent at least.

You did not specify the location of the breakdown; they may not be affected. If they are, y'all better check his neighbours toilet.

Whether the neighbor's water is off or not, use their toilet!

..just don't forget to ask first; there may be multiple people in that house, and most toilets aren't designed for multi-user

Someone out there will be glad to know I resisted responding with some very vivid descriptive prose.

Brilliant!
This would make an excellent comedy situation piece.

You are in Wales, if its not falling out of the sky now, wait two minutes and it will be.

You're in luck - wasps contain water!
You will need about 300 for a cup of coffee.

Extraction and filtering may be a problem...

Because it will be boiled you can pick it up outdoor as long as it is not wasted much (avoid fertiliser and dung washed in from farm land). Suitable are small rivers that have not passed villages or extensively used farm land, not too small lakes, or even the water butt in your backyard (the water in there should be fresh enough in Wales).

I've drank the water running off mountains and hilltops in Wales, but I wouldn't drink it from further down - most of the land is farmed in some way and I've seen plenty of dead sheep in streams 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

If I could build one of those, I wouldn't need the coffee...

The best cup of coffee is the one you don't need.

That's the kind of attitude that we don't need.

Many years ago, I had a house fire - saved the outside walls - and it took 6 months to rebuild. During that time, I had limited power (service pole for the builders that provided two outlets) and no water - well and septic system.
I do have a guest house that I stayed in, but, again.. no water for flushing.
There is a small creek running through the property, so, daily I would fill a large pail for flushing purposes.
I would take a 5-gallon jug to the neighbors and fill it for bathing water and coffee.
The water was heated on a portable camp stove and poured in the bathroom sink. Use a wash clothe and soap, get cleaned up.. get creative with washing your hair.
Having said that, you can survive... just get creative.

Squeeze it out of the wasps, maybe?

Ask in the QA forum? You will then be directed to Google, where you will then search for water. Now, here in upstate New York, the first Google result is a link to the local water department site. Do they have those in Wales - water departments?
