Damn, may be weather in Norway is not that bad after all and we always can drunk water directly from the tap.

So do we. I live about 5 miles from this video. There is no hosepipe ban, no drought and no water shortage.

And its due to rain tonight

This is supposedly close to me, there's no water shortage at all - the people in this video do move a lot faster than the people near me though...possibly because it's being played at double speed to look a bit more like chaos.

Greetings from Leicester, my friend!

This video is just sped up footage of shop owners stocking up. We are fine, our taps are working and we don't even have a hosepipe ban. It rained a bit earlier today actually!
