Title: Oh joy.... Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 15:47:30 A tiny bit of rain and the country comes to a stand-still again. Bruce Street Bridges are closed so that'll add a good 30 minutes onto my journey home.
It's only a bit of water FFS! Title: Oh joy.... Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 15:49:34 can they not just think, every time it rains the bridges get closed, so why dont we get some better drainage :|

Title: Oh joy.... Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 16:49:23 UPDATE: The underpasses at Coate Water are flooded and there are snakes swimming in them.
Title: Oh joy.... Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 16:53:38 That sounds like it would make a better film than Snakes On A Plane.

The worry is this is classic climate change stuff....warm and wet summers. Title: Oh joy....

Our garden was a little flooded at about half one, but it seemed to peak there. None of the roads are flooded, last july all the roads in/out of Covingham were shut. If you're that desperate to know....I can could always take a walk tomorrow and see if their area is flood, but I would doubt it to be honest Title: Oh joy.... Post by: leefer on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 21:47:55 Dont mind the warm Reg...but the wet is orrible.
Title: Oh joy.... Post by: yeo on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 21:52:53 Its no where near as bad as last Summer in Swindon.
Still plenty of twats out there driving little cars through deep water and killing thier Cars and annoyingly making me have to work bloody hard tonight :x Title: Oh joy.... Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 22:26:03 well if he's not in work tommoro i think we can safely assume the worst (well not THE worst, he wont have drowned, i dont thnik its that bad :P) which is a bit shit, i feel sorry for em if it has happened again :(
Title: Oh joy.... Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 23:54:47 it's not as bad as it was last year yet because we haven't had as much rain leading up to it. if we have another day of heavy rainfall in the next few days then we're fucked.
i went into o*ford tonight and the roads were shitty. random closures, moronic drivers...funtime. i just drove through the village and the fire service are out in force pumping water away from some of the houses that got flooded last july. they must be touching cloth Title: Oh joy....

At about 3.50 yesterday one of the bridges was totally flooded - you would think they would do some work to stop it getting flooded every time we have rain Title: Oh joy....

The fire brigagde had to pump the water away! It took me nearly an hour to get home because everyone was panic going home. :| Title: Oh joy.... Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 07:54:12 It didn't rain that badly yesterday did it? I didn't notice.
Anyway, it's nice and sunny today. All's good in the world. I might go back to bed. Title: Oh joy.... Post by: STFCBird on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 08:05:06 It did here, heavy rain all day. Apparently 70% of the rainfall for June fell yesterday :beers:

Title: Oh joy.... Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, June 5, 2008, 11:19:56 Right, if it rains now I'm going to go into a rage that will make the incredible hulk look like si pie having a strop.
