So it would seem that using grey water (eg bathwater) *is* allowed by
hosepipe.


Only if the grey water did not orginate from the mains.


That does seem to be way the rules are worded. Presumably to stop people
filling the bath to the top and then claiming that they can feed a hose
from it "because it is waste water now."

I would supsect that, in reality, if you were caught using actual USED
bathwater, they'd not be overly concerned. Especially bearing in mind
that it seems that no-one has ever actually received a fine for flouting
a hosepipe ban (according to the Manchester Evening News).
