Have all you Berkshire bods survived the floods?

What [i]were[/] they thinking when they came up with those stupid side panels?

Agreed. They look terrible...

Marlow.... (In 1947) Clicky

This colour has better side strips

I like them as long as it's the right colour combination, I spent a while looking at them last year in the flesh at the paris motorshow and as long as it's carbon with the right colour etc. I think they look really good - I was also amased by the detail and the some what impressive lap time they managed on the EVO track!

You can order it all in one colour by the way.

Anyway, sorry for going off topic, my vote goes for an dark grey R8 with CF stripe.

Well, Caversham is still dry as of 8am today... However the water level is still rising!

Just heard the Thames is only predicted to rise another foot here, so it should be fine.

Well I've just heard that it's burst in Caversham - unconfirmed...

[Puggit]

Another foot maximum - and that would be catastrophic in Caversham as the river was within an inch of bursting this morning.

How much higher do they expect the Thames to go?

Just wondering if it was going to be something rediculous like 4-5 meters as in theory the Wye Valley would then flood.

If it were to rise by that amount, pretty much all of the country would be in trouble.

I would just look down on you valley dwellers and raise a glass!

I can unconfirm that, at least by Reading Bridge, looks ok at the moment.

once again this is absolutely mad. Marlow weir stream (bit below weir) is at normal winter high levels- every year it gets this high and nobody rings, leaves letters or does anything. If it was going to be like 2003 then in has to rise another 3ft-4ft, close roads leading into Marlow and have fields of water.

In the past 2 days it has risen 3 inches. I am sure Gordan is milking this to show how great a leader he is. Gloucester etc is a bit of a different issue!

Agreed - it just doesn't look like it's going to happen in Reading. We need another foot for danger...

Have you been down on the footpath at the bottom of Star Road (Mill lane?). The footpath is the deepest water I've seen.

I just visited Sonning, there's around 8" of water crossing the road at points - but it's very passable.

Well it seems to be taking a lot longer to come downstream than people thought. Was ok in Oxford until this morning - they'd been told the levels had peaked a day ago. There is so much water coming down that I don't think anyone can really predict what will happen further down. If it's currently at winter levels in Marlow, then all the remaining water upstream might be bad news.

All I know is that I've never seen my road flood ever and all this water...





...has flowed away into the River Ock, down to the Thames at Abingdon

lived by the thames for 20 years and this is normal- Levels still not rising!

I agree as went for a drive through HonT and Marlow this evening

[Puggit]

Reading is above winter levels, but it's not flooding...

[Puggit]

Water level is going down in Reading at the moment - we've been spared

[Slikk]

No you hav'nt, you still live in Reading
