For example, I believe you can't water the garden (certainly not
directly) by siphoning off your dirty bath water with a hose -
even though, with an upstairs bathroom, this would be pretty
simple thing to do.


Apparently you can. For example

https://southeast.veoliawater.co.uk/...-explained.pdf

"Customers may water their gardens:
- By hand, using a bucket or watering can.
- With greywater through a hosepipe.
- Using rainwater from a water butt by hand or through a hosepipe."

The Water Use (Temporary Bans) Order 2010 definition of “using a
hosepipe” is:-

3.(1) Using a hosepipe, in relation to a purpose in section 76(2) of
the Act, includes the following—

(a) drawing relevant water through a hosepipe from a container and
applying it for the purpose;

(b )filling or partly filling a container with relevant water by
means of a hosepipe and applying it for the purpose.

("the Act" being the Water Industry Act 1991 as amended by the Flood
and Water Management Act 2010

You cannot fill your bath with fresh water and siphon it off, you
can use gray (used) water from your bath as it is no longer
"relevant water" ( mains water supplied by the water undertaker).

So fill the bath, wash you hands in it, then water the garden ;-)

Homer Simpson would be proud of you))))))))))))))))))))))))))
