To be REALLY pissed off with this drought...

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

I live in the driest spot in Britain, there is a drought, we are all on a hosepipe Ban.....

And it hasn't stopped BLOODY RAINING for the best part of a fortnight!
If this is a drought, God forbid we ever get a rainy spell!

But it's nothing to do with surface water, it's what's in the water table??

Dredging up memories from geography lessons here and they were a long time ago!!

It's like a rain dance you see, call a drought and a hosepipe ban and it starts raining! Simple!

Yes I know that Peugot, I just want to stamp my feet!

but if you do that saggy, you will get them very very muddy

Oh Poo!

We've just been out in the drought to do the school run. Wellies, raincoats, bad hair.....

The drought here is sooooo bad that I had to beg a lift home from the supermarket as the drought would've soaked me senseless!!

Was a only a five minute walk, but still....!!

+1 to peugeotgringo, it's the groundwater, not the water on the surface that's the problem. The problem we have in the south east is due to years of low rainfall, and it'll take at least a year of at least average rainfall to sort it.

Look on the bright side: as long as it's raining you don't have to worry that there's a hosepipe ban as the rain waters the garden, tops up the pond and rinses the car for you after you've washed it!

Oh balls to the bright side! I'm soaked, the ponies are soaked, the paddocks are a mud bath, I just fell over in it, and none of he beasties are being ridden! This fucking drought is a nuisance!

My garden doesn't need watering, I don't have a pond and I never clean my car! So there!

FGS! The five day forecast predicts heavy drought showers! Will it ever stop droughting?

I feel your pain - have been stuck indoors with chickenpoxy DD all blardy week and the garden is soaking so we haven't even been able to play outside.

At least you don't actually need.to use a hosepipe.

Aksherly, I DO have to use a hosepipe! I get a dispensation to water the ponies! And believe me, wrangling 250m of manky muddy hosepipe across a sodden paddock is NO joke!

Our drought's got quite exciting what with the thunder and lightening as well. My tumble drier has also been extra-busy in these drought conditions

I feel your pain! We've just had such heavy drought here in Chelmsford that it was bouncing back up when it hit the ground!

Our drought has left the end of our street under several inches of water.

And the drought in South London was so bad that the bottoms of my trousers were soaked through from puddles yesterday, even though I was wearing properly good platform-y type boots.

YANBU :)

Ah Fillybuster - that would be the same drought that stopped all the trains and meant it took me two hours to get home last night !
I just texted DH to tell him that his waterproof trousers are still hanging in the kitchen... that'll be a soggy cycle back from the station.....

GREAT! I've been droughted on so often, I now have a streaming cold! GRRR!!

I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. Two weeks ago I, I bought a trampoline

It has rained every single bloody day since.

FFS Wem!

No it's my ds1s fault it's been like this since he finished school. He goes back tomorrow so allow a week more of droughting for all the things I need to get done now the children are off my hands

It will take more than a few weeks of rain to sort out a drought caused by over a year of reduced rainfall.

And it is exactly the drought that makes it hard for the ground to absorb the rain that does fall.

The drought caused lightening to hit Clapham and Victoria stations last week, adding two hours onto my journey home. This drought is lame!
