Is it the HBV then Bo-Bo?
An easy job to do honestly, the biggest pain is moving the clips on the hoses. Only about £30...

I've suffered from flooding  :(  I cleaned out the passenger side scuttle drain on Sunday, couldn't have done a very good job :-[  . When my wife came home from work, she dragged me out side to look at the car, there was two inches of water swilling about on the passenger floor  :'(    Gave her a bit of a surprise when she braked  ;D

Makes it easier for them. In Milton Keynes they have to walk all the way to the canal to dump mail they don't want to deliver, or have opened but don't like whats inside.  With these floods, less walking to dump.... ;)

At 600 feet ASL I'm OK at the moment. When the next town (300 feet ASL) goes under I'll start building the Ark. I've got some marine ply in the garage....

Sympathies to those who have got caught up in it.   :'(

Dont get me started... just switched from a useless provider that starts with T and ends with iscali.  Was paying for 8Meg was getting 100K... not chuffed.  Took 6 weeks to finally admit they had a problem with their servers all the while insulting me with basic IT questions as they were convinced that it was my setup that was at fault!

Switched to BT on their lowest 8Meg line.  I am just waiting now for them to say that I have to upgrade because I using too much bw. ::)
