    Well, it would be great if the water runs out and the press get hold of the number of reservoirs and potential water volume that they sold off for housing over the last ten years vs shareholder payouts, it would make interesting times...

    even teflon bliar's incompetent administration could hide behind that news...

    All the piss will stay around Milton Keynes or Bedford where it belongs.

    ITV news the other night had a counter running during the bulletin on water. It reckoned 1.5mn litres lost in 3 minutes. As it’s Friday and things are slow again, I have done a little calculation. I reckon if Bough Beech reservoir was leaking at the rate shown on the bulletin, it would be dry in 213 days (but assumes it’s reasonably full to begin with).

    Ah, but wrong type of rain you see. This rain doesn't do anything for the shareholder returns. The sort of rain they're looking for is the stuff that's found in Thailand during the monsoons: the one that covers up the leaking infrastructure.
