I'm not saying we've had a lot of rain...

...but the koi carp have developed Trench Fin

...but the Welsh people have stopped singing about going home

...but there's a duck struggling, out of its depth

...but I hear a word telling me there are too many TV Talent Shows, and I must build an ark.

...but we've all started speaking with Mancunian accents

...but we've officially renamed Spring as "the Monsoon Season"

...but the people with 4x4s have finally discovered what they're useful for, apart from blocking streets.

...but the bloke from the Met Office just canoed past to tell the 4x4 drivers that this is all their fault.

...but we can now identify every roof in the county that's had its lead stolen

...but Camping only has one meaning now - the older meaning being obsolete.

...but the drought order has stopped being a laughing-stock and is now a sad indictment of everything that is wrong with the country

...but the weather is now coming after the Lib Dems in the Opinion Polls.

  1. I understand that the government plan to make an order that all paving slabs in gardens and parks etc are to be taken up as paving over places stops the rain soaking into the ground, and it just runs off into rivers and out to sea.

    Our paving stones were last seen floating away on a deluge towards the Thames, down the hill. Another case of to little, to late.

  2. Which reminds me - given that we have the River Thames, just half a mile from our house, why do we need hose pipe bans?

    Surely, it's not beyond the wit of Thames Water to actually put a pipeline directly into our house!!

  3. UKV, I wouldn't give water straight out the Thames to ducks.
