No this is not a quote from TWO:-) I saw this on ceefax news tonight.
According to the Met office this past 8 months has been the driest for
30 years. Can anyone here vouch for that from their records.

I can't believe that's true at all, if you take the UK as a whole. I
can't believe it's been drier than the 8 months starting April 1995
were. (feel free to correct me).

Seriously, how many other developed countries cram 70% of their
population into 25% of the land, that land being on average the driest
area of the country, with government incentives to do so?*
You don't see areas as crowded as southeast England in the Australian
outback, or Death Valley.

*That's the impression I get, at least for England.

Goodness me Ian - Oil is much more important than water!

We are at war at the moment in order to secure oil supplies for the
Americans. You don't see so many wars on the News in pursuance of water
supplies do you?


I acknowledge your last remark was partly flippant, but at least part of the
Middle East conflict is over water.

Ian is correct: we do need inter-regional water pipe lines, and the extra
storage facilities these would require.

Not according to their use. I believe they were originally designed for
women to gain a larger overview of the other things that are going on
whilst they are applying their make-up.
