So much for the drought.

Had a good few inches of rain in the last few hours.

Fear not, I've got Geldof penning a song.

Stay strong brother.

Do they know it's summertime?

The annoying thing is I bought flip flops when I shoulda bought galloshas.

Those plastic trays go for good money on Ebay. I remember buying about 1000 from an old Army surplus back along to stock our Warehouse, and they worked out at 50p a unit. When it came to finding some more I was horrified at how much they cost in the real world!

There will still be a hose ban.

It's obvious how marginal our storage system is when slightly less rain than normal leads to people calling drought. It still rained like an effer the winter just gone.

A touch of rain over a week or so doesn't top up prolonged rain over an entire winter.

The UK as a whole would need countless trillions of leters of water to refill.

Yep it's like the African Plains out there. Stay strong people.

We're only talking about the probability of a hosepipe ban for the summer. Hardly a big deal is it

Are you one of those posters when a storm comes but doesn't takes a pic and posts up of a plastic chair on its side

Parrot for the 'beef.

We had 33mm of rain on Wednesday and Thursday. In the previous 10 and a half months we had 9 and a half inches of rain. This years crops are pretty much knackered. I would expect that the ground water stocks are still very low, 33mm just won't be enough to replenish them after such a prolonged dry spell.

Bang to rights

Since the glorious summer of 1976 I have heard the water companies cry 'never again will we be caught short' .

Bag'oste, shareholders come first.

I think the Greenies have had a say too. We all have to economise on water usage due to global warming so to 'encourage' us the Government won't allow reservoirs to be built.

9 and a half inches, you expect us to believe that Why do you then go all metric so we can't compare numbers. Do you work in marketing for a utility company?
