Items sent by ship is called cargo, Items sent by car is called a shipment, shouldn't it be the other way around

parkways..... driveways,,, ect

The only common answer is that it's a conspiracy started by the man.

I guess it's kind of the same as putting our garments in a suitcase and our suits in a garment bag.

Or calling what doctors do 'practice', an operating room a 'theatre' and the airport building a 'terminal'

Who said flying was safe?

when I was in Tennerife I took a tour of the island.
It is mountanous volcanic island with 1.5 million people.
They tell you it only gets 3 days rain a year!!
I saw no massive resevoirs.
How do they collect enough water to serve 1.5 million for a year in 3 days and where do they store it?
Just a thought that crossed my mind when i was listening to the commentary on the bus!

fuck-fucker-fucked!

wells would have been my guess, so i checked


The island is volcanic and therefore mostly permeable, rainwater and thawing snow from the highlands, and condensation from the forests filters down through the subsoil into non porous geological formations where water is collected. There are some small external reservoirs, mostly for agricultural use but most water for domestic consumption comes from underground galleries and wells.

Why thank you!!!

I knew I didnt see any resevoirs!

That explains it then!
Good wells!
