Is that an A3 or Golf under the water? it appears to have one crome wing mirror (possibly silver) and a black one. I might be way off track there.

I understand flood victims can be pretty stressed, but that woman putting her child through the front window's a bit harsh. Hope the poor kid didn't need too many stitches.

It was deemed too expensive to rebuild the Giants Causeway so they decided on this route instead wink

Ulster engineering at its best wink Is that why it was completed so quickly? They forgot to add drainage?
All joking aside, very few places could cope with the amount of rain we have had over the last week. It rained here for 13 hours solid on Monday and we havent had much of a let up since. More to come today and tomorrow.
