When Scarce Water is No one's Cup of Tea
Last time I looked, the only thing in common water had with tea was the fact that they were both liquids! So, what really takes the biscuit in this entry is the fact that for the past couple of days, even drinking tea and trying to wash the cup has rarely been any one's cup of tea, on account of needing to fetch water into a bowl, and then clean the cup separately before washing it.
As Ghanaians gear themselves up to watch the second of the Presidential debates organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) in the Northern region of the country, potential and floating voters will be (re-)considering which of the major four parties will ensure that water will be running regularly, I'm sure!
Ouch, hope with all this talk of food and liquids, you're not hungry?
How about some tea?;-)

Nice blog,but can you not get rid of that irritating music?
Emmanuel, does the water issue affect all of Ghana or just specific regions? I would imagine that it would be a real vote winner/loser.
Yeah, that music blows.
adam--no problem, mate!
nightcabcontroller--you can click the music off and on yourself...
kris--in Accra, it's a bad deal--and that's in the more affluent part of the country! Elsewhere in the different regions, there are degrees, depending on whether you're dealing with an affluent part of the region or not. Sad thing is the affluent are always catered for by POLYTANKS, which help them get water (water tanks), irrespective of whether the water is flowing or not...
Regrettably, it might be a vote winner/loser in a constituency for an MP--but rarely for the party that a potential voter is voting in...:-(
Alan--You can switch it off at your convenience...
