Water, water, everywhere...
Friday, 24th February 2006, 12:10pm
Take a look and weep (into a bucket) boys and girls! We're running pretty dangerously low on water:
Reservoir storage in England & Wales, June 06
95% capacity - Wales
89% capacity - Midlands
88% capacity - North East
86% capacity - Thames/Greater London
84% capacity - North West
74% capacity - Anglian
68% capacity - South West
37% capacity - Southern
Suggestions for the forthcoming REALBrighton guide on how to conserve water welcome. Obviously sharing showers is a good first step!

Seeing as Sam has been frowning for the last few weeks about bottled water being drunk in RBTowers, it now seems by me drinking water from france and wales i was actually saving South East resources, i can now sleep easier at night.

It's neat spirits all the way over in the marketing suite. Boiled gin does not make a good cup of tea though...

This might sound a bit simplistic, but why not just build a bloody pipe from Wales to Sussex? If they can do it to pipe in oil to maintain BP's 14 gazillion pound profit margin, surely they can do it to keep the populous alive.

Oh I can see the welsh loving that... once more the English steal the natural resources of our Celtic neighbours! May I propose some rape and pillage while were at it! yay!

Don't drink the sea!
read moree's a group called Surfers Against Sewage who are campaigning for higher levels of sewage treatment which would have the benefit of saving a huge 78,304 metres squared of water each day - currently water that is washed out to see along with the our stinking sludge.
You might have thought that drinking the sea would be a good solution to our impending water shortage problem, but did you know that the equivalent of 80 Olympic sized swimming pools of raw or partially treated sewage is discharged off Brighton's beaches every day? Yikes!
Ther...
So don't drink the sea! Instead, Southern Water has the following top tips for us:
- Use full loads in washing machines and dishwashers.
- Wash veggies in a bowl, not under running water (a running tap uses 10 litres of water a minute!)
- Only boil as much water as you need in your kettle (this'll save energy as well, obviously)
- Showers use an average of 30 litres, baths use an average of 80 litres... so shower!
- Don't leave the tap running while you brush your teeth.
- A third of all water used in an average house is flushed down the loo... get a free save-a-flush bag from Southern Water (email for your free bag!)

i know, heat the world up so the icecaps melt and sea levels rises, that way the sewage we pump into it will be diluted and there will be more for us.we all will live on rafts and get fabulous tans basking in the radiant heat. all the shops and business will be ruined and money will become useless, ...
read morethe world will have to survive by barter and prostitution, all the animals and plants will die and then the japanes will save us all with futuristic robots and we will all live on floating cities. the japanese have been predicting this in manga videos for years. if we all have charged blackberries at the turn of the apocolypse i will text "i told you so" but i might be too busy selling my body to an overweight businessman for a bag of peanuts.
