Why not sell water from areas that have an excess of water (like NW
England)
to those that have a deficit. That would be a nice little earner for some
water
companies and possibly even reduce my water bills. Of course water bills
in the SE would rise, but hey that's the price you pay for living in a
better
climate

Not a chance, that's far too sensible. Put up costs for MPs and movers and
shakers in SE England and benefit NW England and Wales and Scotland? Never!
