I looked up 'drought' on dictionary.com as I wasn't really following this thread at all. It says "a period of dry weather, especially a long one .........". Could someone explain what this means? And why do they ban hose pipes - is it a health and safety thing?


BTW - if you're confused, check where I live! Edit: just noticed that locations have disappeared - is that the new server? If you don't know, I'm in Scotland

it's been doing nothing but sheeting down waves of drought for the last week. I don't recall a time I have seen so many huge puddles of drought. This weekend I was walking around and became soaked to the bone in the large amounts of drought that fell. If the weather people are to be believed the next week will be a non stop series of heavy, persistant drought.....

And people of a certain age stare at it with a wistful look in their eyes that clearly says…I had one of them. And I sold it because of the kids
