In reply to tombeasley:
The Somerset Levels aren't far from Bristol are they?
Although it's not so bad here in the South East the rivers are swollen with localised flooding and the ground is totally saturated. Apart from Sun and possibly Mon, rain is forecast for the next 10 days at least. The two main train links between Hastings and London, and Hastings and Brighton were both blocked this morning by yet another landslide on the former, and a collapsed drainage channel under the latter.
There have been yet more cliff slides just east of Hastings, close to the two dramatic ones shown on TV a couple of weeks ago.
I can't remember when the sun last came out. Getting very fed up......
Hence reduced to picking holes in programs and ads about WW1 steel helmets and cornices, and recycling old jokes.....
