Clearly,YES!

We live on an Island surrounde by water! How can there be a shortage!!!!!!??????

Bloody ridiculous if they are short of water go up north and bring back some of theirs - drought warnings WTF

[dirtydog]

lots and lots of plugs left out me thinks

just wish it would stop raining for enough time to do some work on my sv

Just tip some of the country into the water and fill up those water supplies and wash away some illegal immigrants while their at it

My GF lived in South Africa for years and said it was roasting for months on end.
No hose pipe bans out there....

Go figure...

But would it be potable?

Well funnily enough I dont want to drink salt water. In case you havent worked out, drinking water isnt the same as sea, salt water. :P

You whinge now, try after they've built desalination plants to remove the salt and bill you for the costs.

Well the north of the country generally gets more rainfall hence theyre rarely likely to get a ban or drought notice.

Not much you can really do if the natural levels are low and people dont conserve water. Other than build pipes to ship it down from the north. But not particularly environmentally friendly or useful if they should be sorting out the wastage on leaks before building more infrastructure tbh.

Now would be a good time to empty B&Q of their buckets, so you can fill them from stand pipes, or sell them at an inflated rate when necessary!!
