Plumbers help please
Discussion
It's possible you simply don't have enough height or head of hot water (and perhaps the pipes are too small as well).
If that's the case you can install a small boost pump which switches on when you turn a hot tap on - this would provide enough flow for at least two taps (or more if you fitted a bigger pump).
Such a pump should cost well under a hundred.

If you can afford a 4 bathroom house you can afford a plumber 
If it's the cold water supply, make sure taht the stop cock inside your house and the one outside are fully open.
After buying a 4 bathroom house I can't afford a plumber - have you seen what they charge !!!.If it's the cold water supply, make sure taht the stop cock inside your house and the one outside are fully open.
Anyway it's the cold , the stop cock is on full inside where would I find the outside one would it be near the meter down the road.
Usually the mains water will only go to your kitchen taps and the cold water tank, the cold to the shower will come from the tank in the loft, which also presurises the hot water tank, so the outside stopcock shouldn't effect it straight away, only gradually as you run water out of the tank faster than it's filling.

Thanks but how is the problem cured ?I'll be honest. I only have 1 bathroom so I don't know if your problem is normal with only one mains pressure supply.
A coup,e of things to check.
Pipe size, 15mm or 22mm?
DOes the kitchen tap/one bathroom tap have decent enough pressure?
My stop cock outside is in a hole in the pavement. It may be different for a property your size but there'll be a cover with water or H20 on it I would imagine. It may be buried in shingle, lawn etc so perhaps check your deeds.
