Sorry to make matters worse folks, but just the other day I read a report stating that they anticipate one of the wettest year's ever in the U:K: for 2008! Jeez you have my sympathies.

I haven't seen a dry road since November, except one day between xmas and new year, despite a dry weekend, the roads still never dried up. Kept my bike on the road thinking that we might get a few dry clear days, now pi$$ed off and thinking that when my bike tax runs out at the end of November I'm gonna SORN it and move to "theft from garage only" insurance for 4 months.

We are on flood watch as usual, but I am not afraid. Poor sv is taking a hammering though :(

Hasn't seemed to stop raining here for weeks.

We live pretty high up, no chance of getting flooded out, but the River Avon looks ready to go. If it does, I won't be able to get to work, which would be really, really, really sad:p


Seriously, though, I feel very sorry for those people who were flooded last year, and now face the same threat again.:(

It was a 50-50 day today for me. Soaked to the bone on the ride in to leeds this morn, dry-ish for the ride home. Can't really complain tho, I could take the cage or pushbike/train, but i still go for the sv as it's so easy and quick to get anywhere.
