Floods in the UK

[Martin]

We had many roads closed due to flooding here in South Warwickshire last Friday (20th July). The river Avon in Stratford burst it's banks and flooded the waterside area of the town.

What we experienced though was nothing in comparison to the unfortunate folks of Tewkesbury and Upton upon Severn.

Also this morning, the Government has announced that it still proposes to build hundreds of thousands more houses on the country's flood plains!

That's almost as bad building a city below sea level on a river delta.

Alongside the absolute misery of it all, do you know what really sickened me? The ba****ds who, seeing a shortage imminent, bulk purchased 80p bottled water at the supermarket, and sold it outside, to the unfortunate flooded out victims, for up to £5 a bottle. What an incredibly sick society we live in.
