Well, we’ve had a few days of blue skies, so shall we take bets on how long before drought warnings are issued?

The grasping water companies are mightily efficient at maximising their profits, but not so efficient at ensuring the taps won’t run dry.

The government needs to get an urgent grip on both our water and energy supply problems.

Praying for rain and warmth won’t cut the mustard.
