The "darn sarf" bit is the only reason we know anything about it. I doubt a bit of weather up here would even make local news, never mind national.

 

True that.

 

There were thousands of folk affected by flooding on Humberside a few years back and there was cock all in the news and the Government did fuck all

 

Same year a few farmers get flooded out on the Somerset Levels (which is a fucking flood plain you daft twats) and the media and the politicians were all over it.

I was sent as a High Volume Pump specialist to Humberside where I worked a 36 hour shift. Somerset Levels were a couple of years later but you're right, the level of reporting; North against South was remarkable.

A bit of confirmation basis there Michael.

 

I remember folk without any insurance cover on the news complaining that nothing was being done for them whilst their neighbours with building and contents insurance were being sorted.

 

The government has spent £50m on flood defences in Humberside since with a further £120m to come.

Drove back to Chorley after the game the same way. Never seen it like that before. Leaves blocking the drains or what?

Sheer volume of water I reckon. Came back through an hour later and it was still like a river coming from the golf club.

 

Same down lever park Lane back in Horwich.
