"Although we privatised our water industry, it is still 30% Government owned, unfortunately they are foreign Governments." When your own Governments asset strips your own country for their own gains, you know we need a revolution. The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...

Huge tankers have been going up and down for what seems the whole night and so far, most of today ? I was only thinking the other day, why we haven't been told there is a drought in the offing.. Normally 4 weeks without rain and the heat we have had, they would be putting warnings out. Much more water used these last 3 months with all the hand washing and cleaning.

They would take far too long to fill up from a hydrant. Or maybe emptying Croshill for maintenance. The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...
