Asian and Muslim communities have been told to wash their rice and feet less in a bizarre water-saving bid by the UK's water regulator.
A whopping £270,000 of billpayers' money funded the scheme that used a famous chef to teach southeast Asians how to wash rice with less water.
People from the Muslim community have also been encouraged to use only a litre of water when performing “wudu” – washing the body – before prayer.
