The south east of England is in a state of drought, it was confirmed today.

Next on the agenda will be the water turned off during the day and bringing back The sixties' saying: 'Save water, shower with a friend' campaign

Save water, bath with a friend!

Our golf course is still distinctly soggy so we would love to send some drainage Southward. The problem is that the French (who own our Water) wouldn't profit from doing that - bless their cotton socks.

OK - The Water company that own our water (the country isn't relevant). But IMHO every country should manage their own infrastructure.  :goodjob2:

I heard yesterday on the news that plans are afoot to "export" water from the Northwest to the Sarf East... "shouldnt be too hard or too expensive" they say...

So you water rich Norverners are going to have to share your water with the cash rich Suverners.... bet they cant send any of their higher sunshine hours North tho...

Joking aside... it really is oputrageous that in the UK we cant store enough water to see us through the year... where is the stuff going... it doesnt disappear...

What a cheek.

Up north we were nearly subjected to drought orders last year but had one the previous couple of years.

Down south, if there are more than 2 cars stopped on a road it becomes national news as a major traffic hold up.

Up north we just get on with life and can take whatever is put to us....
