Clearly, we are using more water than we can store.  As I've said countless times before, England is way overpopulated.

I vote a mass cull, starting with the retards.

We had a burst water mains up the road from my house, it was reported the morning it happened and within hours a water board van pulled up opposite and sat there for an hour or so. They then put a pedestrian barrier around it, as it was pushing up through the pavement tarmac and the kerb stone.

It stayed like that for almost a week. pissing gallons of water an hour and breaking up the pavement, before they even attempted to fix it >:( >:( >:( >:(

I know when I used to fix phones, if I wanted to dig a hole in pavement or road, there was a load of legal guff (dealt with by someone else) before we were allowed to.

Terrible idea, what a waste.... :o :o :o    Now rather than do that, sent me the scotch and I will send you the same quantity of water, to be fair to you there is not limit, you send scotch in what ever quantities you want and I will match that with water for you, make in enough and I will send a tanker down...... :D :D :D
