What 'UK Drought?' We've got gallons of water up here in the North. The stuff that flows abundant from the taps is pretty much all naturally filtered mineral water. Just because a few cockneys have to drink 8th hand recycled piss does not a crisis make.

whs. I thought it had been a reasonably damp winter, in the South West at least, and the previous summer almost constant rain.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostIt's got fook all to do with the lack of rain in the south, but the population of the south of England has doubled under New Labour due to immigration.

I've just bought a van and several pallets of empty water bottles. I'll be collecting water from the resivoir just up the road from my house and selling it on a street corner in Reading at £5 a litre. Plan B baby!

When we lived in Newbury, we had to buy a new kettle at least once a year.
Just looked inside mine here, which I've had for about three years, and the element is still shiny metal.
Come up here and help yourself to some Thirlmere lad. Good in your engine too.
Only problem is that a bar of soap disappears in a puff of foam every two days. Good job we don't use it much oop North :-)

Well if I did my sums right, each of us in the UK gets 11 tonnes of rainfall per a day in our acre of land, which should be plenty to be getting on with.
[Based on 1000mm rainfall per year over UK, land area 240,000 km^2, 60 odd million peeps].Comment
