Something I read the other day, can't remember the exact details but it went along the lines of .....

"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.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

It wasn't for our own Government gains it was for the United States of Europe !

Anyone know why Cross Hill Reservoir is having water transported to it/or from it ? 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.

Possibly the other way around, extracting water to take it to a firezone, shortage or burst pipe somewhere else? They would take far too long to fill up from a hydrant.

Or maybe emptying Croshill for maintenance.

Could be DD. It's something I have not witnessed before, during 20yrs living here. They seem to have knocked off tonight but they have been going all day long.

The main resevoir levels are lower, West Cumbria is only at 41.5% capacity.
I assume we get ours from Dee & Vyrnwy Reservoirs which have the most at 75.1%.
