Nationalise everything, including corner shops!
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

From the Guardian's live blog;

Quote
The government has claimed that it is “better prepared than ever” after drought was declared in several parts of England.

Water minister Steve Double has claimed that action is already being taken by the government and the Environment Agency (EA) after eight areas were moved to “drought” status – including Devon and Cornwall, Solent and South Downs, Kent and South London, Herts and North London, East Anglia, Thames, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, and East Midlands.

Those members here who live in these areas might want to start worrying about now.
