We think we have water shortages?

Drought conditions confirmed in parts of Yorkshire

Parts of Yorkshire are officially in a drought according to the Environment Agency.

I think all the ex-pats living here should take a lead from Cypriots who are sending food to Greece, they should save all of their used bath water and have it sent to Yorkshire!

I don't have baths - waste of precious water. Will my shower water suffice? :lol:

Hose-pipe ban starts in a few days time here in SE England.

Well it was bound to happen cos spent some time a few weeks ago rigging up a mains pressure water supply from back garden to front of house for car washing. Got a tap out front but it works at low pressure from the loft tank. So looks like am back to using buckets... :(

Sorry got to go.... got to move the sprinkler, it's running watering the lawn, trying to give it a damned good soaking before the hose ban.
