Thames Water has come up with a novel solution to the water shortage in the south-east of England:

‘We have to look at any possible alternative, including towing icebergs from the Arctic and seeding rain clouds,’ Richard Aylard, of Thames Water, said at an emergency meeting of the London Assembly.

Towing icebergs up the Thames, eh. What next, sunbeams from cucumbers? Wouldn’t it be better for Thames Water to mend its own leaking pipes which are sending the water straight into the ground?
