21 October 2011 18:55132649howard,a differant story at morrisons this morning,and the river is definatly getting lower there to.
ps,tryed to contact you on your phone this afternoon,alas no answer. - 21 October 2011 23:12132679Sorry to disappoint you Howard but as you know that photo was taken after a recent rainfall.
It took all of the top crap away but left all of the crap on the bottom. the stuff you don't see.
As regarding the river level I did state it had dropped more than 7 inches in the last few months.
Last Wednesday evening the river dropped a further 2 inches within 1 hour for 2 hours and then came up again................Now tell me no one is taking water from the Dour.
I think we are being told porkies.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - Jan Higgins

22 October 2011 06:54132694Gosh!!!!!!!!!! that is a lot of water being taken, could it be a farmer?-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 22 October 2011 07:07132697The water in the river has (nearly) always been clean, it's the rubbish that spoils it, that and the over abundance of river-plants, which seriously (the last time I looked) need thinning out.
There's been pictures on TV recently of rivers - through towns and country, but none have had as much weed/plants as ours and it is just too much.
Good to see happy ducks though.
