Sounds like bad news for Colonel Mustard in the Library then.

He was so mean to his sister, pam, when he was decomissioned.

Looks like London this year is going to have a water shortage

Yeah. And the water companies are still going to make record profits no doubt!

We might sell you some of ours.

If you ask nicely.

Is that mean you guys can only shower at a certain time during the day?

Who knows.

Right now the only ban is on garden hosepipes. Soon that could be a ban on baths, 5 minute showers only!

Funny thing was, the week before the hosepipe ban was enforced that were running a story in our local papers 'What if the Spring Rain causes the local dams to overflow!!1!'

Meh....

They put bans on you guys? They realized long ago that banning doesn't work on NYers, so they simpy told us all that water prices are going up 40%.

Nevermind that it's been raining since Saturday...

I guess maybe Brits are better listeners so the 'ban action' works.

We'll just invade and steal whatever we want again.

Yeah, and we'll just kick your arse back over the border.

You're right next to the ocean...guess where all that rain goes.

i'm in a f#####g flood right now... 60 foot surge in the river in the next town over - schools been closed 2 days cause of the water

For nearly more than a year now, we've had no hosing restrictions during certain hours, no sprinklers, and they have regular ads promoting water conservation.

Whiney Londonites!
We've been in a drought for years!

Soon they'll bring in the next level of restrictions, no hosing at all. reducing the water limit on houses etc.
