    Deploy them at once. Surely Civil Defence could use them...

    Well they haven't be used since World War II in an emergency capacity but I think they are ready to rise to the occassion once again

    This video of water flooding through the number 27 bus is a bit mad but frankly, I've had worse swilling around my feet on that bus!

    Another photo from the sweepstakes. The cars out the front are completely underwater now. Out the back - all you can see is this:

    On the left you can see all the bins which have floated out of the underground car park and are emptying themselves around the complex...

    That's some fairly rank looking water. Glad to hear nobody lives on ground floor in your place.

    I don't know to be honest. It's high tide now, so there's a chance the rivers will back up, coastal areas might be affected too.

    Still rising in D4 but much slower now. I think we're near the peak.

    Sure if the pubs got flooded the first thing that we would be thinking is
    " Oh ****e, I hope the drink will be o.k!"

    It will be grand sure

    I picked it out of the water, carried it by the plug..

    Dragging the whole thing, speakers also by the wires..

    Left it outside landlords office..

    He needs to get us new stereo..

    :)

    That's if the shop is still there in the morning..
