Southerners and water

Use canals to transport water to south...

We've got enough water now, thanks.

Did I tell you that Redbourn's 365 policy was under severe strain on Sunday?

Some professor of water engineering or some such said that was a silly idea, no good direct routes, not designed for fast flow and locks.

Upgrading present infrastructure and modifying usage was her solution.

There is no water shortage in the south. It is a scam from the water companies in order to put charges up.

Interesting point.
A few weeks ago on the national cycle route I saw a huge tap just running with no way to close it. Spent half an hour on phone with the area water company (on hold most of the time - even when I pressed the menu option for leakage). They didn't seem too bothered about all that water leaking for hours.

yeah right a series national network that they control and can excavate the towpath may not be the best solution to putting in a new national network of high speed pipes?
