A good first step would be to redeploy senior water company executives to dig fatbergs out of the sewers.
How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system.

Lovely story 😊
Here's a true story about my dad. When I was little, we were on a beach in Oregon and he found a message in a bottle.
The note contained an address, with a plea in a young boy's handwriting to send a postcard and let him know how far the bottle had traveled.

One person in the UK won £177 MILLION last night!
Imagine that 😮
Gutted it wasn’t me - I had such massively joyful plans to give it all away to a handful of incredible causes.
Including funding research to find a cure for that bastard Alzheimers 😢
I hope the winner goes good with it
