Water Shortage?

We live in one of the wettest parts of Europe. Every year, for a lengthy period, we wonder if the rain will ever stop. The water companies lose a third of the supply in leaks – and make a profit.

Letter From a Reader

They’re still banging on about smoking ruining your health. Some people want to ban it. “Load of rubbish,” I say. My uncle Fred smoked 60 a day for more than thirty years and it never did him any harm. He was killed by a bus while have a coughing fit in the middle of High Street.
