WET, WET, WET

So the Midlands has now been officially declared “in drought”, and within 24 hours the heavens opened and the rain began to pour.  The use of a hosepipe is allowed, but is impractical, because the aforesaid equipment is lying at the bottom of the lake that was once the back garden.  Soon distraught citizens will be wading waist deep though flooded streets to access stand pipes and bowsers.  Who needs a rain dance when you have the Environment Agency.
