yeh, every where is flooded.

now the thing that tkes the piss is we have had sooo much rain that the water suppliers have had to shut down so we dont even have running tap water now!

the pics on that link aint shit though, there were places that the water level went over the tops of cars.

and the water level at the local docks is STILL rising!

Unbelievable man, I can remember pieces from the news just a few years ago, stating how much the English love gardening, but weren't allowed to use tapwater to spray on the plants because of the drought...

Did you have any nice weather over there this year, or just rain... we only had a nice and early spring for two months, and maybe 2 or 3 weeks of sunshine since... may.

The globe is warming up... yeah right, I can defenitely see the deserts starting to form out here :eh:

its getting worse before its getting better!

all the power for my local area has been shut off due to one of the small power stations being flooded... so thats 50,000 house with no electricity!

also, the water works for the whole of the south west has been shut off because of flooding and we have been told that we wont have clean running water for atleast 7 - 14 days! WTF :(
