    If it's water you're after get the cheque book out, we've got loads in the North of scotland. 3 weeks and counting of torrential rain, to be fair it hasn't rained that much the last 3 days, previous 21, torrential every day. Struggling to get above 10 degrees every day, borderline hurricane previous week, lost lots of trees....oh, did i mention the monsoon.....

    cdam - I'm with you. Nearly cried when I read the OP. We are freezing at the moment and have more water than necessary after tonnes of rain.

    You must live near me. I'm sick off all this wet, windy, grey, cloudy, miserable weather, someone said it was June the other day and I was like, eh, no cant be June yet.

    I have a whole wardrobe full of bargainous summer clothing that doesn't look like it will get to see the light of day this year.
