Sir, – Apparently, the rain in Spain is falling as it always has, on the plain, and it tastes just the same as it does in Britain and Northern Ireland. What’s more, it appears the same.
The spin gurus in Ireland will have us believe that climate change is affecting only the rain that falls on Ireland. What the consumer notices is that the product that previously come out of his pipe looking like water, now appears to resemble soda-water or an elixir containing too many spoonfuls of Andrews Liver Salts. He lets the tap run to flush out the bubbles and clouding, and the announcements blare, “You’re using too much water”.
I have a hole in the garden and the water in it looks fine. I wonder could we feed it into the grid for credit? – Yours, etc,
ROY STOKES,
