Ahh that's awful Andy, I'm not too far away from you and  I'm happy to chuck in a day at the clean up effort if it's any use ?

[EMD]

Sorry to hear that andy  Looks terrible , glad all are safe .

Oh no, what a shock .

I'm delighted they are able to call on their son for refuge.

As no insurance, and mileage it getting stuff lifted out of the water to allow it to drain before the water stains too much? Or is it already too late? I know when bro's shop floods, we lift stuff up onto the counters, so only the bottom of the wooden counters, carpets and walls get damaged - the counters clean up OK, so just new carpets and a lick of paint...  ...though we normally catch it fairly quickly after it happens.

We moved what we could up stairs eg telly and some other electric stuff. But things like the fridge & freezer, furniture had to stay where they were   

We going back down soon to see what we can do ..... the water had all drained away by 10 o'clock last night leaving a lovely sludge of unmentionable everywhere

Glad your folks are safe. Loss of possessions can be heartbreaking, but at the end of the day, they can be replaced, but people cant. 
The bullsh*t hysteria from the media and politicians regarding the causes of the flooding make my blood boil.

People seem to think that, because we live in a modern, tech-savvy country, we can prevent things like this happening. You just can't tame Mother Nature, get used to it.

Still very bad for those affected, poor souls. I was amazed to hear today that people were actually visiting York to 'have a look' at the devastation. That's all they need.

Thanks. 

We've all spent another day clearing & emptying sh1te ridden stuff from the garage ...... at least the council provided a skip - their previous answer had been take it to the tip yourself!

Thanks. They've both landed on their feet 

As you say, it's heartbreaking seeing the thousand of pounds worth outside people's houses or in skips
