The UK faces water shortages because government forecasts do not take into account the expansion of data centres, water companies have said.

    One cup of tea in the morning and one in the evening should be enough.

      Thing is tea will be the last thing they ration, putting ANY limit, even as rediculously high as 20 a day, would cause riots in the street.

        You can buy all the tea you want. Just the water is rationed.

          It’s above average, but I wouldn’t call it ridiculous. It’s just over a cup an hour.

          If someone hit 50 cups I would be worried. At that point it’s better to move to a bigger mug, rather than more cups.

          When I was a web developer I definitely drank about that much a day. Whenever anybody was bored with what they were doing they would just go make a kettle as an excuse to bunk off for a bit.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
