I am glad there's a drought.
 

Because I hate to think what the weather up here in Northland would be like if there wasn't. It's rained every single day this week, the reservoirs are bursting and, as I sit in my 11th floor eyrie in H**********d, all I can see are fish swimming past the windows.

If you guys in the south are so profligate with your water, come and take some of our rain. Please.

Re: I am glad there's a drought.
 

Its raining down here today

Hope it dries up for the South comes North adventure....!

Seconded - El Boccadillo

Makes ya laugh doesnt it. The north is drowing, yet our blessed government are talking about dragging ice bergs up the thames, shipping water in by tanker from other countries, and possibly the best idea yet, a de salutation plant which Red Ken has said no to. Why not just build a god dam water main network to shift the stuff around? Oh, thats right, thats to simple isnt it. Lets drag icebergs from the arctic.

What fish can you see Boc?

have you found nemo?

trouble with shipping water down from the north if Thames water was in charge it'll all leak away before it got to Watford.

H

True..sadly :?

Or the pikeys will tap into and flog it in the markets!

Watched the news this morning and it was reported that Thames Water lose 900 million litres a day in leakages.
900 MILLION. This sounds like an awful lot so I may have mis heard, However they are bleeding millions of litres daily!!!!!

yep apparently we use as much water per day as Thames Water loses through leaks.

Interesting that people are saying that a pipeline would be too expensive. I imagine that Thames water etc just dont want to buy water from another supplier!

We dont need a pipeline. We just need to expand what Thames already have, which is a reservoir they fill during the winter, and use through the summer.

If they built more of those and they used them to link the different water companies, then the ones with surplus up north, could fill the holding tanks, while the ones that need it could use or move the water to the next bordering supplier etc.

And Red Ken, well enough said about him the better!

Where would you build a reservoir in the south east?

S'funny innit, all the major utilites *except* water have 'competition' to keep them on their toes.

I have! :nemo:

Just met him for lunch

Norfolk...... :wink:

I thought he was here...

It's equivalent to 3 (yes, THREE) Lake Windermeres leaking away each year.....

Frankly, we'd be better off if Lake Windermere DID leak away, because it would get rid of a load of grockles, but that's another story.

(Oh, and Viney, I am CERTAIN that two cods and a small tuna swum (swam? swom?) past my window this morning. One was towing a small Spanish trawler.)

:lol: My god man, ewe must know buy now that i cant spell :lol:

Or use the spell checker :wink: :P :lol:

Im just trying to work out if the god dam water main network was a typo or a pun. :wink: :lol: :lol:
