Mind you one good point to come from this, is that there will NOT be a hosepipe ban this summer in the Midlands!!! As Adey will be drawling for the next few months until it has been confirmed!!!!

I was suggesting that the proximity of Bromsgrove to Birmingham would possibly make it a goer. Sorta, having all their European eggs in one central Midlands basket.

This normally happens after what they call a drought (ie 3 weeks without rain) causes the supplies to drop. Doesn't matter that the same water companies have so many leaks in the supply system that they lose 33% before it gets to the consumer! Greedy b*stards won't spend enough money on putting the pipelines in order cos it means their shareholders won't get a dividend.
