LOL and the conservatives said we didnt fix the roof when the sun was shining. I'm confused.

Don't know if you noticed that the population went past 60 million a year back. Since then, another 750 000 have come and is on its way towards 70 million by 2025.

All those extra people use water, electricity, land, roads, hospital beds, school places, etc etc. We only have a few upland areas to gatehr out water reserves.

So much for labour's open door mass immigration policy.

Who was in government in 1976?

Wasn't that the year we went for a loan from the IMF as well...?

Brilliant! Lack of water blamed on immigration!

I think that the 'hose pipe ban enforcement officer' posts have suffered redundancies due to public spending cuts.

Cameron is an ar*e

The whoosh of Sally's first post flying over your heads was quite frankly deafening.

so games will now be postponed because of rock hard pitches,lets go back to being a winter game

Not if the club was self-sufficient for its supply to water the pitch.

Here's a thought. Why dont we all stop wasting water rather than blaming those in power (who we know will do sod all about it in any case). Personally hosepipe ban aint a problem to me. Plants in the garden are drought resistant, car can go dirty and beer dont come out the tap!

Is there an underwater stream?

A borehole i think its called...see link www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/a ... Page1.html

Is it a ban on hosepipes or just using them?

Full on ban. Think there will be an announcement on where and when an amnesty is taking place.

Ban from from Friday 9 July. some commercial customer are excempt if it used to run the business.

Too many people, not enough water. makes sense to me.

Sally saitire.

Surely some of the effects in the population increase is the effects of modern medicine. Advances that keep people alive that should have died along time ago, back when they lost what made them people.

No?

No. Not all elderly people have lost what made them people. In any case plenty of young scumbags would fail the "people" test.

Well, i'll still be using mine.
In the words of Ricky Tomlinson - "Resavouir my ar$e".

i think we should all enjoy this decent weather for a change...winter will be here all to soon enuff....also as a thought if we are to use less water do we get a rebate from those lovely water people

Pmsl sit back and watch the great unwashed argue amongst their hose pipe banned selves

Unless you meet the CEO of United Utilities and he offers to buy you a pint while he celebrates his payrise as all of a sudden the business is more profitable?

Personally I won't be holding my breath
