There's been a few ask, so http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-20825081 this was our village yesterday. We live half a mile behind where the first photo was taken from, and the shop is at the bottom of the road you can see, turn left, 50 yds up on the right hand side. The flood water was running fast to within an inch or two of our shop door, but didn't come in, unlike the poor buggers at the bottom of the street as you can see.
'kin carnage, and Christmas trade a write off for all concerned. So absolute disaster, but no damage to anything of ours - mighty close. Water all gone now, just a mess to clean up for those most badly affected.
Ermmm. Happy Christmas.
