Surely there's a global warming aspect to it? Rain! In Wales, in June?!
As ice cap after polar-bear-nourishing ice cap deluges onto the Welsh countryside, every single scientist in the world declares it's too late to stop it, and it's all because of people driving big cars.
We now go over to the headquarters of a bank where it has emerged that a 40,000 a year fat cat executive put 3 coffees on his expense account WITHOUT A RECEIPT!

Yes the inshore lifeboat was "rescued" because it was in very shallow water and could not use its outboard  define rescue  Heard or read it when I posted. The reason was not clear at the time. BBC knocking for the sake of it methinks. Peoples homes have been wrecked and having witnessed the result of flash floods, it is not nice. The reports I saw this morning certainly did not fit in with the gist of this thread.

Not having a go at you , i also heard it on this morningss new , it was only at lunch time that i saw the picture of the life boat stranded on a lawn  The BBC and all other news agencys alwasy get a bit hyper when ever they think they have an easy dramatic story to cover

BBC knocking for the sake of it methinks. Peoples homes have been wrecked and having witnessed the result of flash floods, it is not nice. The reports I saw this morning certainly did not fit in with the gist of this thread. The BBC coverage this morning painted a picture much worse than what has since emerged. They were talking to one woman who, when asked 'are you stuck in your home' they were clearly miffed when she told them that she was not stuck, not in danger, and didnt need rescuing. It was as if it was her fault!! they soon brushed her off and moved on. It was very much a case of 'well if you dont need rescueing, why are we even talking to you...? Get off the line, there may be someone else that is in danger that we should be talking to...'

I was shocked and disturbed in equal measure when I heard that a camp site situated on a river's flood plain, had been flooded.
I blame everybody.

When the force of the water is enough to put in doorss and windows, downstairs soon fill up and the crap that is carried by the water is unbelievable. Then, if it cannot find a way out, it turns your living room into a mud and water filled pool. And probably in the dark. Yep, safe.
Edit. Of course, if you have an upstairs to go to.

Apparently one lady was saying yesterday because of global warming we will get more of this kind of thing.
They had to chisel it in there didn't they.
