Government says it is going to spend nearly 5 billion in next six years on flood  measures in England.  I think Dominic is reading OOF.

Lets hope he gets the Spanish in the frame for a bidding war to build HS2.

They've found Labour's money tree!  ;D

Oh dear, down hear as the full force of the previous storm Caira raced over, with storm force winds and massive waves off the South East coast, the Hastings Lifeboat came close to disaster as it was part of a team out to rescue................................................a stupid, mad, bastard of a surf boarder who thought it would be good to go out into the storm!! :o :o :o:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-sussex-51444109/storm-ciara-hastings-lifeboat-battles-through-waves

I hope the RNLI DEMAND that the fool, who was eventually recovered (Shame!! >:( >:()  pays them compensation for all the stress and cost he caused, and a mental health team section him! >:( >:(

We had a rotten fence post and two panels blow over, all about ten years old.

Retrieved them from next door and now firmly strapped back in place with washing line pending the arrival of replacements.

There's a licenced nuclear site in Derby, next to.the River Derwent. Which was showing RED yesterday on the environment agencies flood warning web site mapping tool.
I'm guessing they were busy trying to remember protocols and action plans.

A bit of rain and all the poxy riding schools are now using the roads through the estates and town centre, rather than the fields.

Now dog owners have to do the inside out carrier bag, WTF cant horse owners?
