Re: Drought in the south
Well if 50 years ago the governement invested in a national grid system, like the other utilities then there wouldn't be a problem would there.
I was in élan valley (welsh reservoirs that supply the midlands) on Saturday on my bike and they were not lower than normal so not gonna panic just yet. Ill start conserving more when Seven Trent water decide to do it too

Re: Drought in the south
I plan to make my Philipno house staff work harder so they sweat more and I'll use their sweat to wash my bikes. I'll be alright.
