The message from Stan The Man contains these words:

b) the water shortage is much more to do with John Prescott's new house
building agenda (coupled with insufficient reservoirs) - and supply
pipe leaks - than it has to do with gardening (or rainfall - which
statistics have been much distorted by the Environment Agency to suit
the Govt's agenda)

So gardeners and their hosepipes are the sacrificial lambs to a much
bigger God: the need to build tens of thousands of new homes in the
south east, many of them for immigrants, without having the water
supply infrastructure in place to support them.

I had formulated a question on exactly this subject[*], when I went
to a recording of 'Question Time' that was held in Perth a few
weeks ago. Unfortunately I wasn't one of the lucky few whose
questions were chosed for the panel to answer.

[*] Did you know that your questions to 'Question Time' should be
thirty words or less? Not easy, if it's a complicated question!

The little card they give you to write question on is indeed small. You'd
have to write really small to get much more than 30 words on it!
