Puffs rain!
Will with greatest respect, the event today was an n'th of the event that
occurred here 4 weeks ago, yes a lot of rain fell in Southern England in a short space of time, and the tabloids will undoubtedly reflect it. But hey this was nothing in comparrison to what happended here 4 weeks ago! Yes I'm sure because it hit the politically important South it will recieve much more air time. Seriously today was just a serious day for a few Southern locations but not anything remotlely akin to Hulls plight ! Rant over and yes it's raining here, but us third world Northerners get over it! Lets see what transpires in the news in the coming days ehh! Dare they plead Government help and if so will the government be as agile as they were 4 weeks ago!!!!!!!!! |

Hey I'm a born northerner too!!! Some places have had over 100mm today and the Severn is still rising. Let us wait and see shall we. Hull was special, I never said it wasn't. But this event is spectacular because it was so widespread (not just a few locations) and it ain't over yet!!! Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- |

I don't have any prejudices about other regions of the UK and haven't seen it in the media in the past few weeks regarding the floods in the North, Wales and West Midlands.. I await the Southern softies posts when it snows for the first time this winter with eager boredom. Dave |

The main weather event may be over but all that water still has to work its
way down throught the rivers. "Johndoe" wrote in message g.com... "Will Hand" wrote in message ... "Johndoe" wrote in message g.com...

I await the Southern softies posts when it snows for the first time this winter with eager boredom. Dave I realise that I'm seen as a Daily Mail reader but it is being increasingly noticed that Brown/Blair as PM or as the ex chancellor are only all to eager to give 30 billions of our tax revenues to Africa alone; yet seem to have a contempt for their own indigenous population http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6279740.stm Mow some will say well they're insured and so forth -many may be but those good decent people that have worked kept their noses clean, paid their taxes, paid their insurance premiums have been offered 14 million as opposed to 30 billion pounds. That really is a comtempt shown by a predominantly scottish cabinet who will at the drop of a tammy shanter say how much they hate the english. So dohboy please remember that the south in the shape of sussex also took a hell of a flooding back in the autumn of 2000. I think it's more of an anti indigenous population bias than north v south. By the way before GW is paraded over recent flooding, this is interesting and raises questions of local authority spending and private water companies http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...nfloods108.xml |

g.com: Will with greatest respect, the event today was an n'th of the event that occurred here 4 weeks ago snip Not if you live in Tenbury Wells - in Worcestershire, not the SE - as seen on tonight's ITV national news, where the town centre has now flooded three times this summer. It has been an *exceptional* summer for them, for all the wrong reasons. Trying to judge whether location X's flood is "worth" more or less than location Y's flood is just silly. -- Bewdley, Worcs. ~90m asl. |

Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- Why is it that every time something like this happens someone somewhere just HAS to turn it into a "North vs South" thing. It really is sad. |
