ExUserGone Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 So who stole all the water in the rivers today? Come on own up you thieving gits! I heard talk of low pressure over the north of england being to blame and high SW'ly winds but we all know someone has siphoned all the water out! If anyone knows of someone recently having a water meter fitted please dob them in to Wild Fuzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking23 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Clearly many boats have been lifted out of the river for storage on hard standing. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Sadly, looking at the evening news on TV, the poor folks in Cumbria appear to have collected it all. Hopefully not too much damage done. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimbiIV Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Damn right we will charge, my friends car is parked in the village car park recognisable by the poppy attached to the aerial, nothing else is visable of it. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I've just been reading abut a similar downpour that affected the area between Aylsham and Norwich in 1912, there was a train stuck at Aylsham for 7 weeks due to the floods and damage to the track. I know that the terraced houses between the recruiting Sergeant and the bridge at Horstead were under 4 feet of water at the time and the lower end of Prince of Wales road in Norwich was flooded. Over 40 Bridges were destroyed at the time as well. So this sort of Weather has been around for a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExUserGone Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Theres a lot of talk about the government not doing enough about flood defences but I doubt theres much that can be done when 14" of rain hits in 24 hours, especially on hilly ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
