Downpours-lash-Britain?????????????

Weather has been nice up here all week, no down pour to be seen. Headline might need adjusting.

How is the drought anyway?

Still going apparently. Though here in this particular bit of the south our water co doesn't have any restrictions and the garden is looking lush.

There's a programme on tonight about transporting water from Cumbria to the SE.

Now, like all others areas that behave under tha laws of supply and demand. How much are you southerners prepared to pay for this water and transportation system?

Yet they still always seem to use Pictures of York to show people what a Flood looks like.

(that particular place in the two main pictures floods pretty much every time it rains by the way, not a great indicator of anything)
