Call a drought summit you can be sure the heavens will open and we'll all be doomed to flooding...

"Pressure on water resources looks set to increase over the next few months"

Whereas water pressure looks set to decrease ... 🙂

"...people should take shorter showers"

Have they met my wife? Even I'm not brave enough to tell her not to spend so darn long in the shower ...

It's a bit like buying sunglasses in February, you know it'll be a wet summer.

Joking aside is there no way of moving water from Scotland to where it's required via river/canal network? Especially as Scotland didn't have a summer last year!! 😈

It's not actually downhill when going south, just feels that way 🙂

With a bromide facility just as it crosses the border?

If only someone would realise that every house they cram into the south east needs a lot of water. We are full up down here. Surely the rest of the country can't be that bad a place to live.

I thought you were going to say something much crueller to be honest!

Perhaps Salmon and Sturgeon will propose using such rivers to fund the New Democratic Republic of Scotland?

Very expensive to move water a long way. Keilder to Manchester seems ok but further difficult. It has to be pushed either uphill or through them. And we've got a couple of hills to get passed just to get to the [s]charge point[/s] border.
