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!!!

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.
