Re: What's Your Weather? Part II
Well done, Bruce. You're pretty good at keeping up with our news stories.
The water companies had permission to declare a drought and initiate hosepipe bans, because they did not replace pipes, prevent leaks, maintain drainage and create reservoirs. Instead they looked after their fat-cat executives and shareholders. It was soon described as the wettest drought in history! A company which cannot conserve water in this country, is incompetent in the extreme. We get more rainfall than India!
Drainage is bad in the car parking areas at Silverstone, but there is no commitment to keeping it going. If Ecclestone could get away with shutting down the circuit, he would! I haven't been to Silverstone for years, but it had a great atmosphere, especially in the Kenny Roberts vs Barry Sheene era. I attempted to watch the F1 today, but no decision had been made as to whether to continue or not.
