Mid-Wales Stupidity

Some old woman being interviewed on the news, because her water supply
is frozen or something.

She said that her son had gone to try to find some bottled water....

What the hell does she think all the white shit on the ground is, then?

Since when has Roath & Penylan been in Mid Wales?

I wouldn't fancy melting any of the snow around there for drinking
purposes.

 

This wasn't someone from Roath, or indeed Penylan.

It was definitely somewhere out in the sticks.

Still seems a bit ridiculous given the amount of frozen water on the
ground - you'd only need to boil it if you were in any doubt.

 

It's not bottled, innit.

Roath Park is out in the sticks. I saw the TV broadcast too. The interview
was part of a report about the Roath water situation. There were some other
shots of Roath streets in the report too.

Snow from the side of a mountain maybe. Snow that's been sitting in an
urban environment for a few days is less appetising. Boiling might kill the
bugs but it won't remove the lumpy bits.

 

Ahhh, OK. Was only half watching it and though 'you stupid woman'.

(It's a WFH day today)

Heh.

They did make a meal of going out for bottled water - which is probably
why I assumed they were a lot more rural than they actually are.

you've never met stupid people in middle class suburbia?

 

Good point.

Once again, the stupidity levels are up - people complaining that their
grocery delivery can't get to them, and that 'I ordered online because
my car is stuck'.

our 20 year old washing machine decided to croak on Tuesday. I ordered a
new one from a local outfit, expecting them to have a better chance of
getting here. Their shop is only 1.5 miles away, on the well gritted A40
and I'm on a main road too. The fuckers phoned yesterday, having got their
van stuck out in the sticks somewhere.

 

Looks like lemonade round here.
