I put it to your Mr Corns that perhaps you should not have bought property in that area. Another one that wants to blame someone else for their own mistakes.

Exactly. That river has been there a lot longer than his house. A bit of research would have been wise before stumping up the cash for a property that is likely to flood.

Must be nice to live by a river, but I'd make damn sure it'd never burst its banks and flooded the village before...
