Overview
- Lucy Sharp and her partner filmed a neighbour’s outdoor tap running at full pressure around 11:30pm and chose not to wake anyone.
- The clip amassed more than 2 million views on TikTok, with many viewers criticising the pair for failing to alert the household.
- Her partner initially guessed the overnight cost at about £300, but their on-the-spot search put an eight-hour run closer to roughly £12 to £26.
- Sharp later said they are first-time buyers new to the street, apologised to any neighbours affected, and acknowledged their hesitation.
- Coverage noted that entering property to turn off a tap without permission could be trespass, with advice to contact the homeowner or the local water company.
