However, down here in this part of the south of England we've had one brief thunderstorm with about three minutes of light rain which did no good at all. The hosepipe ban, imposed in June last year, is still very much in force, most car-wash facilities are closed and civic fountains have been turned off (although they recycle their water, the fountains still need topping-up regularly!).

It is no wonder that the grass is the colour it is. I undertand that golf courses are permitted to water the actual greens, but nowhere else.

I take this opportunity of asking everyone who knows the steps, to get out there and do a neat Rain Dance on our behalf - please!!!
are you saying that it is actually DRY in the brittish isles? I thought is was miserably rainy almost every day of the year?!?
