Reply to: Should Wales profit from selling water to England?

I wanted the R4 presenter to ask how much water storage capacity has been increased in the SE since 1976 to ensure security of supply and contrast that with the increase in number of households (ergo population) in the SE since 1976

Even when you make sensible suggestion you manage to get immigration angle into it.

I bet you make up for it by peeing in the water before it goes to Birmingham.

We do something to the lamb before we sell it to the English too

And here was me thinking it did nothing but rain all summer last year, apart from a brief sunny spell in May and the beginning of October.

Forecast here is rain, rain, rain and cold.

Was listening on the radio to the latest proclamation from the Environment Agency announcing the extension of the drought notification to the Midlands and some spokespeople from the water companies blah blah-ing about we should all pull together to save water as it's the worst drought since 1976 (aka the best summer ever)

News that drought won’t lead to water cannon ban gives hope to disaffected gardeners

I never drink water from tap without having it boiled first

In some bits of the Third World you get the trots even when the water is boiled. I took the slightly harder route of getting accustomed to the tap water and eventually it paid off, managing to avoid the trots when I'd eaten and drunk the same stuff as my colleagues.

And chuckled to myself when they suddenly made a mad dash for the bigs.

Those who agree with Alan Davies are going to have a field day.

Surely they'd make more money by offering specialist holidays with flossie and her like

[Pondlife]

Yes, they should profit. And the Scots. They lead miserable lives, what with all that constant rain, so making a few thousand pounds a year would be some consolation.

But its all the fault of the English.

Nah, DS is right. It's mostly cos of the rain.

Damned English stealing our vaaaaalleys with their damn dams.

Yes, if only in revenge for having to put up with constant slagging from the English all these years.
