Flooding in England
 

People on here have made occasional comments and jokes about the flooding in Southern England. I just saw a clip of the flooding on our news. All I have to say is, prayers to my friends in England. May the flooding end soon and all will be able to recover.

Either that or learn to swim.

The Irish show how.

The flooding could be with us until May according to some of the 'experts'.

Off to Dartmoor next week for a few days, more rain due on Tuesday for the journey down. :-?

Super Dave will save them all. :rolleyes:

I love all the loopy conspiracy theories about this flooding in Britain. It's similar to the artificial "nanobot snow" ones we have currently in the US.

For some, it's a simple case of the all-powerful European Union imposing their crazed environmental policies on the UK. Others see it as a plot to drive the inhabitants of the area out, so that massive industrial scale fracking can proceed on the land. But all the conspiracists seem to agree that the hydrologists who say that it's largely due to a neglected and mismanaged levels drainage system disastrously failing to cope with an extraordinary leather event are talking sheeple talk. Lord knows it never floods in Somerset.

An extraordinary leather event sounds fun.

I blame it all on killing the beavers - they would have dammed upstream. Oh, and building on flood-plains of course (there is a hint in the name).

When I was young we always blamed the Russians.

:haha: :up:

Whatever the reason, those poor buggers are certainly likely to suffer for at least a month more yet.

A bit ironic when you consider how much overseas aid has been given to alleviate those suffering from similar (and I don't mean identical) circumstances.

Motion to buy Steed one of these:

Well the least some of them could do would be to send a few bags of sand...plenty of that around :)
