Way back in the Fifties, my father put forward the idea of connecting up all the rivers, lochs, lakes, and reservoirs from Scotland down to the South Coast.

It would save parts of the country being flooded and provide constant water for other parts of the country.

It always seems the south of England is more hit by drought than anywhere else.

Water companies, get your heads together - take some of that extra money you have and do something useful with it.
