I wonder if we should have a sweepstake. As the GFS predicts

days elapse before certain water companies begin murmuring
about restrictions on supply, and the banning of hosepipes?

At least Thames Water finally seem to have managed to fix the
leak that
was causing a small stream to run down the pavement outside my front
gate. I think that was at their fourth attempt since I first reported it
last autumn.

After an intermission of a week or two the stream returned, though it's
rather weaker than before.
