There is a drought order currenty in London and South East England. There been very little rain over the past 2-3 winters and they are running out.

Not only that, most of London's water system are still using 150 year old victorian pipes that are crumbling away.


Anyway, the company that run the water in London is called "Thames Water". How much water do they loose each day through leaks?

Enough to fill 350 olympic size swimming pools


Talk about a waste.

Talk about a waste.

27.5%, I believe here. There's a giant fountain erupting from the road in Sector Eight, Urchins use it as a bath, those Municipal Engineer's been trying to repair it for nearly 5 days now. Hopeless.

This is exactly why we don't ask you, Vicki. You and your Germanophobia.

Wildly off topic, but...

I set it to say my posts were edited tomorrow. It's reinforcing my ninja admin powers.

Broccoli? o_O How does that look like broccoli?
You eat mutated broccoli... see a doctor.

I'd trade that for how conditions are where I live.

Woke up with a nose bleed because it was so hot.

I don't trust the Daily Mail...

England is sinking and Scotland is rising, because last Ice Age, Scotland and Northern England were pressed down by the weight of the ice. Rising sea levels push the effective sinking/rising equilibrium to the Scottish border.

What, England sinking? Yes. Global warming is the main cause of rising sea levels. See my last post.
