are you sniffing glue or something? we are short of water not because of the lack of water in our reservoirs, but because we had -28C temperatures which burst pipes and as things thawed the supply escaped into glens and rivers. The problem has not been made any better than the random switching off of the water without informing when it is going on again. seriously do not compare this to global warming, its got nothing to do with it. Its just about a lazy , greedy water company totally up the creek with no paddle and no bloody water!
No- I was not. I just thought about the current shortage and the fact that water is a limited resource. Some people live in an utopia where nothing will run out.
I'm shocked that people have to go to community centres to pick up water, it doesn't sound very fair to people that don't have transport. I remember a few years ago here (Central Scotland) we were without water for 2 days and vans came round all the streets distributing water to everyone. I don't think it was on such a large scale though so that may be why N.I can't do the same.

The bbc did get it wrong (as usual). http://www.u.tv/News/Water-shortages-affecting-40000-people/6954168f-652e-4bd9-acc4-71b39d31f0ed
Sky News reported that Stormont had been in touch with Scotland and secured a supply of water. Did you honestly think it was for themselves alone ?
Heard a rumour this afternoon that water may be turned off in Bangor sometime today. I have filled bottles and pans just in case.
Am not understanding your point here ....

The world will run out of water before oil and we need to manage it better.
The thought of trouble with the army on the streets crossed my mind after posting
LOL at Mexicans
BOLLOX! It will keep on raining.
I'm soooooo relieved now.
Would you care to explain how we will run out of water?
