  • all i got to say run while you can

  • well this is cheery.

  • cry

    

  • poor rat unless he enjoys it

  • it's not IF thjere's going to be another flood, it's WHEN. - any city built on a flood plain of a tidal river IS going to get flooded on a regular basis. Check out the excellent book "London's Drowning" by Anthony Milne - makes one think - well, it did me. I can *just* remember the '53 flood, and my list of housing requirements includes "not in a flood risk area"

  • Look on the bright side people. Fishing should really improve in the city of London.

  • ahh well, i live in london but ive got a boat so im alright!

  • Is there an article about this (saying the same thing?)

  • Well at least there's time to raise enough money for these kinds of defenses.

  • Ah, after the big flood in 1953 we built a number of dams and barriers. Its expensive, but if its worth the money then a lot can be done.
