I hope the EA and the water companies will be prepared for the drought
problems that could occur in 2004 if we have a dry winter. Should
there be restrictions on water use at this stage, just in case?

This seems to be gathering some momentum as far the media is
concerned. There was a story about it on the 6 O'Clock news this
evening, saying that if there wasn't substantial rain in parts of the
south and east in the next two weeks, there would be a 'crisis'.

The weather forecaster this morning said Margate got 36mm yesterday -
share some of that around.
