Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: flammableBen on Friday, July 20, 2007, 12:22:31 I'm hoping it keeps raining all day. Might make it quieter at work. I really can't be arsed tonight. Already got to go in an hour and a half early and they just tried to get me to come in at lunch as well. I think I was a bit harsh on the phone. Oh well, I'll apologise later.

Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: Minnesota Fats on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:08:28 I was supposed to be on my way to Oxford about now but having taken 30 minutes to drive from Rodbourne to the Greenbridge Roundabout (which I hasten to add is submerged) and saw the traffic chaos, I had a Cartman moment and leant out of the window and exclaimed: "Okay, that does it, screw you guys, I'm going home."
Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:16:13 All the roads from town centre to West Swindon are shut, I'm stuck at work :(

Post by: DV on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:16:42 well thats my coaching session out the window.
All the roads are flooded here in Covingham and there is no chance I can get to Calne.... I left about 40 minutes ago, in that time I've left my house gone towards the messenger and back. I could walk that in about 20 minutes. You've got people driving up the curb and driving along paths and grass as you cant even see some of the roads.....my car is fucked and I could change gear so I've had to kinda glide home in neutral! Ummm....good luck to those trying to get home after work.....you might want to do yourself some over time Title: Whens it going to stop??

No getting to West Swindon because Great Western Way, Wootton Bassett Road & Cheney Manor are shut. No getting to East Swindon because Queens Drive and Dorcan way are closed and Greenbridge and Covingham are under water. Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: Chubbs on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:27:05 DV whats dorcan area like?

Im meant to be playing footy at 6, and so far no notice that its been called off. Dunno havent been past there....but if you're coming down from greenbridge past the messenger then you're fucked....thats the worst of it......the water is higher than the curb and down that road towards patheon people are driving on the path!! If you're coming from Liden way its alright I think. Saying that, I expect the astro turf is pretty flooded, I expect it should be cancelled. Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: Luci on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:32:26 I dont know mate but Im panicking now.
Title: Whens it going to stop?? Post by: Chubbs on Friday, July 20, 2007, 13:32:35 ye, its not the water im worried about its the traffic, my car doesnt do well in trafic, starts to over heat like a bitch and will blow up, thats my main concern.
