It started to cloud over here in Teesside exactly 4 minutes after hubby turned on the sprinkler for the first time this summer!! He does it every time !!!!! Still very hot here though. Kath. x

Sheffield We were having a lovely BBQ an hour ago. Now it's pitch black, torrential rain, thunder and lighning. Typical British summer I suppose. Mind you, I love a good storm

Kathleen - a sprinkler - you are still allowed to use sprinklers??? We arent even allowed to use a hose in Norfolk. Only to save wildlife - which means we can top up our wildlife pond and thats it. The verges are brown out there and the plants are wilting, its awful.

Heather, We are lucky in that we are supplied from Keilder Reservoir - we have more than enough water in this area. Keilder (which is massive) was built for all the industry up here - before all the industry disappeared. The water authority up here spent a fortune building the reservoir which means we never have any water controls imposed. I think it's about time the water authorities in the south started spending some of their profits to sort out the shortages. By the way, hubby needn't have bothered - it started raining this evening. It's still unbearably hot though. Kath. x

Hot in Cov, which is a big pain on a job which involves lots of heavy lifting. At least we get free staff meals so I don't have to worry about that.
