Yes, when I was in London earlier this spring, they said the drought was coming to the southern portion of the British Isles.
Now I'm back in the US, getting rained on.

Eh, we've had droughts before, we'll have them again. We'll pull through somehow. We're plucky like that.

Bah, hasn't stop raining for days...Why doesn't this happen during the winter? I haven't had a good blizzard since I was 6.
Even in droughts, it rains in England.

Its not only leaks that are a problem, if the bbc news web site is to be believed, the filling in of resevoirs and then selling the land for building new homes has made the situation worse.
Added to the fact that since privatisation, the Water companies on the whole have not spent monies on infrastructure. pipes etc, but given themselves massive pay rises.
