Commiserations to all affected floodees down there. I recall a similar weather event up here in the summer of 2007 when the expert opinion from the folks in the know in the capital was along the lines of 'Sorry but that's what you get if you live in a flood plain'. Presumably, the resale value of all those now uninsurable Berkshire/Thames valley properties will plummet.
It's ****ing shocking Stuart, and forecast to get worse. I remember 2007 only too well, although my house didn't flood, i have a photo of our lass cruising down our street in a canoe ! Just think though, when we flooded, it was summertime, we just waded around in mucky water. That was depressing enough,but how cold will that Thames valley floodwater be ?
I was incredibly lucky in 2007, we moved houses a week before the flood and then went on holiday to Cyprus, when we came back we found out that our old house was in a foot of water.
Only when we want to, and we've got that in writing. I was relieved, because that immortality's not all it's cracked up to be.
I know what you mean, it was miserable though. Mind you I saw the Southampton team bus on its way to London Colney!
"until this weekend the total number of properties affected by floodwater in Somerset in the last few weeks is 40" Hull on its own in 2007 had 17,000 properties flooded
I live in the area (Maidenhead) and my buddy lives in Wraysbury it's shocking my trips around at the moment take 4 times longer.
The businesses down English Street in Hull are still recovering and many are still closed from the flooding during December. This hardly made the HDM never mind special reports on the BBC.
