Jeez I would not dare go to sleep, my parents hammered the lessons of the winter of 1953 into me and the 200 dead in the south east when the sea flooded the area at night.

Thankfully we weren't near the coast. The only reason the land was there was due to all the drainage ditches. When my granddad was a boy they were still island (Isle of Ely etc).

Even now if it rains for a couple of days half of the fields vanish, and some of the roads.
