I heard a BBC R4 programme with Feargal Sharkey waxing lyrical about his love of chalk streams!
Good man Feargal. A good chalk stream these days is hard to find.
thanks I’ll be singing that all day now
Please be gentle with this earworm of mine.

and to think that a Fine Gael TD in the Dáil called people protesting the privatisation of the water supply equivalent to members of ISIS….
I wouldn’t mind a trickle of that 57 BILLION.
