The rain.

Even by Manchester standards it's been biblical and it's still going! Must be twelve hours non stop now.That must have filled all the reservoirs up and saved us a from another drought warning lol.

90% will have been wasted but fear not, the water company CEO will get a big fat bonus for at least telling us they tried to capture it.

No chance mate, it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, which means there will probably be talk of a hosepipe ban by Monday

It doesn’t fall in the right places, we are told.

When @snorky is out on the town there's a tsunami warning due to the female population becoming moist.

It could be that?

Well there’s flooding in Peel Green and Winton. About a mile either way from the road I live on!
The road in Winton is the one I lived in as a kid. We never had flooding in those days, then the council ‘upgraded’ the banks of the stream at the top of the road and since then it floods fairly regularly. Go figure.

Fletcher Moss has probably turned into an inland sea by now.

Noah's Ark is nearly full.
He has two of almost everything. Just waiting on 2 right backs from the Etihad to make an appearance.

Hebden Bridge will be flooded no doubt

No way. Because the temperature is probably 0.1 degrees Celsius above average than it normally is this time of year, the water will be evaporating faster than it is falling meaning a hosepipe ban impending.

It does make you ask a lot of questions. Whilst the UAE is cloud seeding to make it rain, we are incapable of harvesting the amount of rainfall we naturally have, to avoid being in a fresh water deficit.

Probably due in a small part to all the small local reservoirs being drained and sold for house building land.

I would suggest more than a small part.

Nolito still missing Manchester.

Water water water everywhere
Like blood and air you're all gonna share the water
If anyone survives just remember this line
It won't be the water but the fire next time

And as the population grows beyond 70 million on the small island so more houses required and an even higher demand for water.
