The Floods HMMMMMM?

[Steve]

Apparently the flood defences are now making things worse - the water came over the top and the defences are holding it there. Firemen are having to pump water out of the defended area.

So, if you are considering making your own defences, leave a way out for the water or you'll be living in a pond.

If you follow Devs advice you'll be fine, unlike the bloke interviewed on TV today, asked why he bought a house in an area known for flooding he said "it was cheaper than the market value, 'cos of the flooding...." . No doubt he will be complaining that the taxpayer should be spending millions to protect his home from flooding, but I'll be very surprised if he offers to pay the taxpayer back the increase in his house value. On similar note, doubtless my insurance premiums will go up to cover his shortfall.
