You've just ruined the stereotype of England for us Aussies then cookey, we thought it didn't stop raining for months.
But seriously, we're in major trouble with our water here, I'm in Melbourne in the south of the mainland and the reservoir that provides two thirds of our water is only 20% full. How much of that is drinkable quality I don't know. Severe restrictions are on and we're just waiting for the drought to break.
