Jeez Paul! I hope you and yours (and Bakntim) are ok following the events of the last few days.
Not far from here, Ashbourne has flooded - and we're also quite close to Carsington Resevoir
- thankfully we live on top of a hill, so fingers x'd we're ok up here. Apparantly Ladybower Resevoir has overflowed up in the Peak District - thats where the Dam Busters practiced their bombing raids during WW2.Our best wishes go out to everyone caught up in these terrible floods.

Ace video, when will people realise that they put the air intakes really low on most cars now, just sucks the water in and destroys the engine.
Just checked on my mum in Halifax, seems she has not had it as bad as sheffield and surrounding areas.
Hope it dries up soon for you all.

In our office in Sheffield (, that's not far from Birksie's house) we've been lucky and only had half a metre of water in considering we are right bang next to the river. The office is now dry and disinfected and I've just got all the systems back online
Tomorrow I will be recovering 7 industrial panel PC's and 3 PLC systems from a flooded paper works !
Luckily I imaged 5 of them and have the PLC software, you have to make a profit where you can
We've already had 15 emails from office suppliers trying to sell us equipment !
Needless to say it's double backup time now just in case the weekend is worse................................

Yeah we're all fine Claire. Luckily I live in a hilly place as you know, it just that my work place run right next to the river don. Fortunately that day, I had been asked to work in another yard which runs by a brook, not a river. If I had stayed at our company's yard, BAKNTIM would have almost certainly been floating through Meadowhall. :?

OMG Paul, looks like you and Bakntim had a lucky escape!!
Hard to believe the events of the last few days really, there's gorgeous bright sunshine here right now :?

NOT GOOD
i was on the way down to AA control today in worcester and the road had a liitle water in it ( did it hell ) i went through it thinking this ant to bad then people was flashing me with there car lights then i could here water then i could see the bloody water coming through my passanger door the words was a little o sh******t were my rubber ring put the car into reverse and thank god got back out opend the door and the water was uo to the cenre console in my car so i started to get it out with a cup that sam makes me a cup of tea in know 3 hours later the car is drying out very slowley
so lession today is
if you think you can drive through a puddle then see how deep it is first not like me and thought lets see how big of a wave i can make
- Guinney1971 - 20 Jul 2007
I think this time round the south is getting what the north had 4 weeks ago.... mum's up with us at the moment (from Hertfordshire) and she said the rain was torrential with standing water on the M1 from Luton to Donington - the rain hit Derby with some force just after 4pm, but its easing off now and blowing a gale outside. Coming home through the lanes tonight, there were branches and trees down again though and the fire brigade were attending a fire at a farm just outside the village.
I'm tempted to put Flopsy back on SORN, seems pointless having tax on a car I'm not using - and due to the weather wouldnt use anyway! I've been out in that car 4 times this year - what a waste......
- Tourettes Tony - 20 Jul 2007
yeah it was bad today dan sarf, i did manage to get my car out yesterday afternoon, the only benefit of being self employed
