I am English,and I live in North Wales, The annoying thing is that we pay more for our water here than Liverpool or Birmingham,also the way land was taken at Capel Celyn to supply Liverpool,made me ashamed to be English,it was so Bl00dy arrogant without a single thought to the people that lived there, So I hope that it never happens again,ever, Ray
My sister was living in RAF valley on anglesea for 3 years lovely isle. one thing i miss about wales is the scenery here in dublin theres not much 2 see,lol and love driving over there, the roads over here are terrible. the A55 was heaven 2 drive down.
Water will become an ever more valuable resource in future years and I think it inevitable that Wales and Scotland will be called upon to supply other parts of the UK with vast quantities of water.
I would hope Welsh and Scottish parliamentarians prove canny enough to ensure their constituents are well compensated for the sacrifices they may be called upon to make and that both countries begin to view fresh water as a valuable export commodity.
Is Capel Celyn the submerged village I saw a documentary about some years ago, raysparx1?
back to your question, the elan valley pipeline to Brum comes virtually through my back garden (certainly the back garden of my local) so it isnt only the valleys that are affected.
glad you liked Ludlow
Instead of flooding where we live whiffey, why don't you just take 25% of our rain? ...we'd gladly let it rain where you are, so we could get an extra 2 months summertime
