in all seriousness a good friend of mine has been through having his house flooded, he and his family had to live in a hotel for 6mths, sounds fun to begin with, but it was horrible.
I hope everyone on here is ok.

They added piles and raised a long length of concrete wall only this summer. However, it came over the dyke 1/2 a mile upstream and flooded the same places again. They reckon the dyke was 18" too low.
I actually feel a bit sorry for the Environment Agency. Where do they stop? New blocks of apartments have recently been built in just this area. OK, only the ground floor apartment got flooded but WTF? Why build there and, even more so, why buy there?
As far as I know only one motorcycle death. A BMW so it dosn't really count....
I'm talking about the bike (which died of an excess of water), no humans were hurt in the creation of this post!MacV2 wrote:They all count...RIP.
