I am still trying to digest the latest nonsense put out by our ever
watchfull BBC.
The programme in question was yesterdays Country file largly given over to
the drought in Southeast England,and how we are all doomed by the ongoing
GW.
Various scenarios were discussed as to what could be done about it
including piping water across country from the very wet parts of our
Island,but the very ernest enviromentalist said it would be far too
expensive at maybe one million pounds per kilometre. Do what !.that sum
represents about one weeks costs in Iraq,and probably the monthly salary
bill for ChelseFC.
Have they all gone totally barmy,and money obsessed ?,we have a large
crisis looming in the Southeast,which according to the experts could be
cured with a few years effort and the water companies/government dosh.
Perhaps we should save our money though for a penny off income tax,or a
couple of quid a week for the poor old age pensioners ,that would probably
be much more satisfying that solving a crisis for the next government.
The British Isles is sloshing with water most of the year ,so lets get it
to the parts who need it with a water grid..Isambard Kingdom Brunel could
have done it,or.
bring back Winstone Churchill I say !

PS OK you experts ,,shoot me down
The BBC are mad Ron. Just the other day on their online news servicestheir
headline stated "another fatal stabbing ..but knife crime is down" So
where very important issues are at stake like violent crime they are in
total social marxist denial. Yet where GW is concerned they eargerly blame
it on the West, particularly America, at every conceivable occassion. They
are so biased now that they have become incapable of telling the truth.

Rant to one side, I have mentioned this before. I heard a suggestion that
the consumer draw the water from the pipe system via their own extraction
pumps. The theory being that the enormous pressure needed to maintain water
pressure could be alleviated, thus allowing huge reduction in leaks.

Mind you based on that proposal couldn't larger industrial pumps supply
areas in that same way?
