These shortages were followed, as night follows day, by the Great Water Shortage of 1976.

That were a proper summer, that were.

Ah, yes. The summer of 1976. I thought it would never end. Bliss.

You don't get proper summers like that any more.

Nor proper winters with real snow that stays. It's all just grey now.

I blame the Tories / government / global warming / immigrants / that bloody Michael Foot / unions / bankers / that Mrs Scroggins from number 23. She's a dirty cow, that one.
