Is it me or are water points getting worse and worse. A dribble springs to mind at the expense of the oxymoron.

We have plenty of time on our hands so not a problem. However I wonder how it might affect the hire boat business and those who want to do a trip for more than a few days...

I can't say I've noticed any slowdown although I don't time it, and I do tend to fill up fairly regularly so it never takes that long.

But then it’s on top of a big hill! Others are pretty fast, it just depends...

On others the pressure is so low that I've pulled the hose out to check if water is actually coming through.

On my stomping ground,
Ansty, good.
Hawkesbury, poor.
Hartshill, very good.
Atherstone top lock, poor.
Hinckley, good.
Sutton Cheney, very good.
Market Bosworth, very good.

Tend to find ones out in the sticks to be better, less users connected i guess?

I always go have a cuppa/food or do some jobs whilst filling up, when i hear the gurgling sound i know its done, never really in a rush.
