The Girl and The Thames
This is the Thames. And when you look at it, the water doesn’t really look clean. But clean or not, this is the water I get out of my tap at home. We get our drinking water from the Thames up here. And it looks clean coming out of the tap, and it tastes good too I can say.
Now a lot of people think that it rains all the time in London. But the thing is, it doesn’t really rain enough. For the first time in 15 years, Thames Water is implementing a ban on sprinklers and hosepipes from the 3rd of april 2006. This means that people no longer may use sprinklers to sprinkle their garden, or wash their cars using a hosepipe. You may still wash your car using a bucket of water though, or sprinkle your garden using a watering can or bucket. (Water restrictions – frequently asked questions)
Why all this ?
It hasn’t rained enough in London the last years !
And so I made a phonecall (yes to him), and later that afternoon:
You worship the sun, but now can you handle the rain ?
A pleasure to help London, and apart from that I love rain. Isn’t it a beautiful sight ?
Uhh… I saw a danish word in your, I forgive you ;-)) og ??
I had to read it 3 times to find it, but I changed it to “or” what it was supposed to be :-)
A call to him or Him? ;-)
Yes, that is the question :-)
