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.

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.
