Wales pelted with rain. Just spoke to some contractors doing sewer repair work near us; they travelled from Welshpool this morning and said the land was simply emptying water onto the roads. Oh, and its raining again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright sunshine and nice and calm here today - yesterday afternoon and last night was carnage though. Loads of trees down, which left our village "cut off" - plenty without power for a few hours as well. Many of the fields look like lakes, if we get anymore rain, then there will be flooding I'd have thought.....although over the next 24 hours, with the run off from the fields, some houses could flood anyway. The sand bags are already out for those closer to the river than I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks really really bad, town where we live was cut off a couple of days ago no road or rail available. They've recently built a fuck off estate on the nearby flood plain, but that's not what's caused this of course, council won't have that... Just seen photos of the water nearly at Forest's doorstep as well, think their next game will be played in flippers!

I watched the programme, it's on catchup so I am not taking a social media post as gospel. I just clipped it from X as its easier and there are loads on there to just link to. Just before that clip she was saying Nestle paid for some flood defenses because they weren't happening quick enough. She complained at government money not being spent quick enough. She made a silly comment that was picked up by various people. Something of which she should know better but it made her look stupid just to get a jibe in at an EU statement. A statement of fact.
