How to deal with the UK's drought

[Troll]

So what were the reasons we couldn't use the canal system to get water down too the Sarf?

Shopping trollies mostly. Although I understand there are quite a few bags of dead kittens as well.

Oddly enough, I was in a rush to lay a bit of pipe round the back of Podimore Services earlier

How's the wife and baby?

Both doing well. Thanks for asking.

If there's a drought then how come Caen Hill locks are still in operation?

Water is abstracted at Great Bedwyn pumping station and when the water table is too low, the licks stop working.

I was under the impression that the drought problems in the south east were caused by the fact they all paved over their front gardens which vastly reduced run off back into the water table as it all went down the drain...

not sure if the water that goes down the drain gets recycled or just runs off into the sea??

anyway fook 'em I say...

Well you need to be careful with that attitude, because a drought in the south will harm the local economy, which will reduce the tax take, which means that ultimately your benefits will be reduced.

One pipe can transfer both ways.

I propose 2 so we can pump our tulip the other way.
