I must admit I had been expecting some rain today mainly based on

started. In fact I noticed the ground was very dry on the Essex marshes

Well the melodramatic twaddle has resulted in our village fair (the
Revels) being cancelled. The Creedy is flowing across the field which
would be the car park, and the rec has standing pools of water. However,
that's not as bad as the many people who've been flooded out (some
again). Warnings pretty much spot on here.

I like "surface water flooding". I have a sneaking
suspicion what they mean here is that there will be puddles, some of
them quite big, something that few could have anticipated. They are
turning us into frightened dimwits. This specifically does not refer
to rivers flooding, which is definitely something worth heeding, but
is covered separately as Flood Warnings.

Dr Foucester went to Gloster
In a shower of rain
He stepped in a puddle
Right up to his middle
And never went there again.

He wasn't told, you see. It must have been dreadful in those days -
you really had to look after yourself.

"The public should be aware of the possibility of surface water flooding
and some disruption to travel and outdoor activities."

There, that's it.
No mention of getting injured or having to take any action, it is, after
all, just a yellow warning. A warning of the possibility of disruption
and according to various accounts here, the forecast was pretty much
spot on.

I think it is you Lawrence, who is being melodramatic.

dragging the quality of this newsgroup down imo. Perhaps you should
follow in his footsteps and take a long retirement.

I certainly wouldn't go that far but Lawrence's incessant critcism of

than a little tiresome.
And his undoubted good humour can no longer mask this.

Agreed. I like Lawrence, but I have become fed up with his seeming
inability recently to post about anything other than how dreadful the
Met Office is.

I don't want this group to become effectively a group in the
uk.politics.* hierarchy under another name. As the group's much-ignored
charter says: "Any discussion of climate issues should be from a
scientific standpoint and not a political (or environmental-activist)
one."
