  1. Well that would be a sensible & rational reply, but as this is modern Britain, No.

    It must be global warming, climate change, the Russians or even the election of President Trump.

  2. Well said richard

  3. We even made Sky news with Greg Milam on the flooding in the park.

  4. Can I be first to post some inane message about it being caused by building on the flood plains
