Don't know Cashy .. just musing like.

Maybe population... just quick googles tell me that the North West has approx. 7,000,000 people to 14,000 square miles. Southern Spain 8,000,000 to 33,000 square miles.

They drink bottled water and don't have as many brews ? ..

It does seem to go off more though.

The hosepipe ban starts tomorrow, Friday.

Will any single people please list their names here, and I'll try and pair you up for the sharing a bath scheme.

Draining two rather large reservoirs and building on them can't have helped.

Maybe creating a shortage is the easiest way of hiking up the price.

It might help if we didn't sell so much of our water to the south and United Utilities listened to people who phone up complaining about leaks.

There's been one in Rishton off Spring Street for about a year which I know has been reported on several occasions and yet there it is, still flowing daily.

Was all due to Labours reckless water wastage, if they'd have taken the correct measures over the last 13 years this would never have happened, that do ya Ken
