Pitch Watering

Whilst agreeing with you on the financial side, why are all the reservoirs empty and why are some rivers drying up. It’s water that’s goes to waste through un repaired leaks that is the largest issue for companies yet lard arse allows them to get away Scott free!

 

Serious question @Fordy117 have you had to increase your costs with regards most things going up astronomically Elec, Gas, Petrol, etc or are you still charging you customer the same as you were last year ?.

 

Is that a picture just after the fire? Looks like the burnt out stand to me

 

I'd have thought the pitch would have been well scorched if it is but your right having second look it could be I was focusing more on the mill dam that @kevin was quoting, sorry if its offended anyone.

 

You never offend me mate you know that. Just curious, it looks like you can only see the back wall of the stand, theres no roof.

 

Photo must have been taken mid to late 85.

 

To be fair I was totally engrossed in the conversation with Bronco and Kevin about the Dam on the other side of Midland Road. It does look as though you could be right though.

I wasn't there on the day of the fire, I was at my mates wedding.

Shortly after that date I moved with my wife and kids to Dubai for a few years.

 

Post 40 is the burnt out stand, the one I posted in black and white is pre disaster from the 60,s I guess, because my old house is in the pic. It was demolished well before the disaster on post 40.

 

When you see old photos it brings home just how close to homes old grounds were.

 

There’s a nice big thunderstorm coming this Monday, relax.

 

We'll have flooding then as the ground is so hard it won't soak it up, the rain will just run off according to Paul Hudson.

 

Yes that is the problem but again the news is sensationalising everything and yet again everyone falls for it.

 

It's not sensationalism, it's reporting what's actually happening.
Instead of having steady rainfall throughout the year, as well as snow, which melts slowly into the ground, were regularly getting much heavier rain in the winter, over a shorter period and then longer, dryer, hotter springs and summers. So much of the rain causes flooding and never finds its way into the ground to raise the water table.
We're forecast storms on Monday and Tuesday but that won't help much, because it won't soak in. It'll just run off and cause flooding.

 

showers most of next week according to the bbc. Enjoy the nice warm weather, it will soon be cold and wet again.

 

Certainly does. When I used to say I was born 50 yards from the Bradford End…..my old house as a nipper is right there in black and white

 

No it’s called summer and we are just having a hot one after many crap summers. Look at how they make the country look red in the forecasts which wasn’t done 20 years ago with similar temperatures. Scare mongering galore and they love it the crazy sociopaths.

 

You have been completely brainwashed. Sad.

 

True, Dave. Our garden is literally like concrete, most things are dead or dying . As we are on metered cost for water it gets too expensive. Water butts are also empty except one with about a third in it for the wife’s “ sentimental “ plants.

 

Is there a bellylaugh emoji one could recommend?
