We live on an island surrounded by more water than it is possible for you to imagine yet we're being told to conserve it while the directors cream off salaries of in excess of £300k with bonuses for efficiency.

You've got to feel sorry for them really, haven't you?

Ever since the snow stopped falling, there has been very little rain this year.

The ground is tinder dry.

agree, but surely it must be down to the crap ways rain is collected by the water companys?:confused: after living where its much hotter n far less rainfall, n never experiencing a water ban, that the only conclusion i can reach.:confused:

lol just washed teh car and read this

soz to anyone dying of dehydration

edit:

hang on if theres a hospe pipe ban it only seems fair that those companies filling up bottles of water from the tap and selling them as spring water be told to stop production if things are that bad

We seem to have plenty of the wet stuff. Maybe if the water companies fixed leaks instead of lining their pockets and wallets there would be no problem. I would start worrying when the Lake district and the money made in bonuses by water company bosses coincide.

Just when we had rain now this morning im without water again, maybe the reseviors are draining cos UU cannot take care of their pipes, another burst main this morning - yet when i rung to report the automated machine was waffling on about the hosepipe ban and conserving water............UU take your own advice, its not the consumers thats wasting it its you.

He should also make sure Stella gets no more than four inches in the bathroom.

Supplying her with a ruler should help.
