If climate change is real......

and after seeing todays storms cause chaos, this being only the latest in record breaking crap weather recently, it certainly changes the social make up of the UK.

In future who on earth is going to want addresses that have details in them such as " By the sea", "Lakeside" "Valley Bottom" " On Tyne / Wear/ Tees / Thames etc, By water, Water mill lane, Riverdene etc etc? todays " must have" addresses for the social climbers are very fast becoming total liabilities.

Tonight up here both Newcastle and Gatesheads riverside apartments etc are flooding, the communities of Port Clarence and Haverton hill are being evacuated. ALL and I mean ALL of the low lying main roads in the Tees valley are closed due to flooding.

Part of coastal Northumberland like parts of Rhyl in Wales that were guareneed they would not flood again in 100 years after floods 30 years ago are again under water.

Just as central London post codes used to be the in vogue addresses for the idle rich and middle classes, those same image concious are now moving out in growing numbers.
