I do wonder why no one has suggested that all “Bowsers” should be guarded by a soldier sworn in as a special constable. This would stop vandalism and ensure the water was distributed fairly. The reason for swearing in the soldier as a special constable would be to allow him or her to arrest miscreants. Oh dear, am I getting too old and will I be demanding that they send in the tanks instead of doling out ASBO’s or is this idea commonsense?
