iron de havilland: make me some tea: Lady J: there has been no mention of water restrictions, I don't understand it.
we've hit record temperatures, and it's been at least warm for months. we haven't had rain worth mentioning since May.
That is weird.
Maybe because this is so unusual that the government doesn't have any process created for emergency drought management? They had better get on that.
Per TFA, it's all on the water companies:
Even as the source of the Thames shifts during the dry weather, Thames Water has not implemented restrictions on water use such as a hosepipe ban. Instead it is asking users to be judicious with their tap water, doing things such as turning off the tap while brushing their teeth. Government sources revealed on Wednesday they were frustrated that water companies were not putting hosepipe bans in place.
Right, the government needs to oversee that. Companies aren't gonna do the right thing automatically.

Makes sense. It's an island.
All you gotta do is dig a bunch of notches on the ocean bits and just kinda dig a lot of little grooves downhill to your own houses. Or 'Loos' as Englanders like to say.
Yeah but Britain is known for being excessively pluvial

So what you are saying is the british government is so weak it cant even force companies to use basic water conservation measures?

Since the government is run by Tories, I think it is more that the government is wanking themselves too much at the thought of the problems this causes to stop it.

To put in terms an American might relate to. Imagine Seattle having no significant rain in say January and February.

Within the state, it is pronounced correctly as R-Kansas. When it enters into the cesspool of Oklahoma, incorrect pronunciation is begun again.
