Our Friends In The North West...

Flooding, electricity cut off, homes ruined, it's not good in the run up to Christmas.

Having a few problems with AB freezing. Maybe water in the system!!!

Peter.The friend did get insurance again but maybe that was because flood defences were promised, and built, supposedly to protect against those 1-in-200 year events. They may all find it more difficult this time, only 10 years later.

Gness, I’m not flooded as I live on higher ground in the city so staying at home today. Hopefully everyone has learned from last time so things will get moving and back to relative normality quicker. Apparently last time a friend was told that the rescue operation was organised so quickly because the county has an emergency plan already in place in case there’s an incident at Sellafield. I think it was meant kindly but not exactly a cheery thought!
