    What you could do is go to a supermarket to get some 4 urself and go to the same 1 again and get sum 4 ur neighbour,

    i knw the tesco in gloucester said you could take 1 load of water and if oyu wanted more youd have to go back for another load,

    when you go and get some why not ask the people who are giving it out

    We've found that if you want extra water it is best to go during quieter times. There seems to be a bit of a rush early in the day and that's when they are stricter. Later in the day when things are quieter they are more relaxed and you can usually get extra if you explain your situation (i.e. getting it for an elderly/disabled person). Other areas may differ though, unfortunately.

    I went to tesco at cattlemarket at around 11.30 and thats wjhen i heard one of the guys handing the water out saying 2 a woman "if you want a 2nd lot you will ahve to come back for a 2nd load once youve put the 1st load in your car"

    i went to morrisons in abbeydale around half 4 yesterday and it was quiet,

    Remember to take back your empty bottles to them at the same time as you're collecting more water, as they are collecting them for recycling. :D

    I did my first water pick up today, it all went smoothly.

    They actually offered me twice as much as I could carry, but I stuck with arms their current length.
