Extreme weather in UK

[crazylegs]

Watch the authorities say we are still in drought after this little lot, They'll be saying something along the lines of it was the wrong type of rain or none of it fell in the right places or the right reservoirs..

Extreme weather? Cold? Nah, we had a few of the usual April showers today and the temperature did drop a few degrees tis true but cold it is not.

Those Newsroom copy writers must be having a silly season so dream up a few attention-grabbing headlines.

Basically, it's all cobblers

Been pretty wet all evening but nothing we haven't seen before.

And we'll get more downpours in the future.

Hell, this is Britain we live in.

We got a water saving pack through from our local water company.
Sent off for the lot as it was free & waiting for it to arrive now.
Everything from saving water when flushing the loo to adjusting water volume in the shower.

BUT why did i drive past a water leak in the road today that has been gushing out water for the last 24hrs and the water company seem not to have stopped it yet or is this different water?

Was thinking much the same thing myself, it's been chucking it down for at least three days now. I seen some odd sights, dry where I'm standing yet pouring down about quarter mile away and huge black rain couds with thunder and lightning nearby.

But don't you use that hosepipe mister or you'll be up before the beak.

To save water in the karzi just put a brick or a half a brick in the cistern or if you have one of them thar modern systems (I do) you can time the flush. What the water board won't tell you is that if somebody lays a massive log it sometimes takes two flushs to get shot of it or in extreme cases a full bucket of water poured in to send the errant Thames trout on it's way.

You won't find that in the Water Board manual
