Rain dance

Sir,

I have discovered the answer to the problem faced by those unfortunate countries who suffer frequent droughts. All they have to do is to organise a Festival of Speed. Guaranteed results!

Both my son and I loved every minute of it all and to hell with Sunday’s soaking.

I am yours etc,

David F Gee, Tyne and Wear (Given that this was thefirst wet Festival infive attempts I think your suggestion might be slightlyflawed, even if its sentiment is wholly laudable. AF)
