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!

900 MILLION. This sounds like an awful lot so I may have mis heard, However they are bleeding millions of litres daily!!!!!
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.)

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?
