    4 water companies supplying south east imposed the ban just a week ago, looking at TV the reservoirs extremely low,they are looking at drilling bore holes in the midlands then pumping to this point from mid-Wales.

    best wishes

    Your right those memories are worth their weight in gold (excuse the pun) I see it in my 2 grandson's when we try something new.

    good luck,

    Soz Oldtimer65 here's my personal Welsh Anecdote.

    I was working in a hotel as a barman in Yorkshire (where I met my now wife) and one night we hosted a hoard of Welshman who were making my night hell. Towards the end one of them said "You should come to Wales. We're real friendly" and me being at the end of my tether barely restrained my response. Suffice it to say I never went to Wales solely based on that night. I regret that now but seriously, when you meet up with someone from abroad you are an ambassador for your country. Having travelled a bit (just a bit mind you, enough to appreciate that everyone is basically the same. They want to live their lives in peace and raise their family unmolested). So if I ever meet someone from "not around here" I go out of my way to make them feel welcome and to offer any assistance I can.

    Here's an awesome example of how it's done (sorry it's in London).
