TheRecklessEngineer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Glad I have a discovery this morning. Not deep enough to use the snorkle though... Anyone else affected? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7781088.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest weeble Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just been to Reading on the M4 and was surprised at the amount of standing water in the fields!! A fence in one field was below the water level and in one place ther was standing water on the motorway. Not a nice journey with all the spray as I was towing a trailer with a car on it!!!

redben101 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Had to go and help the gentleman in the white house who was flooded about a month prior.

Guest noggy Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 is flooded here in derbyshire, the floods have about died down now, otherwise id say id get some pictures tomorro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben101 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Didnt have to rescue him as the walls were holding out around the house. Got his water pump going and that was countering what was coming in and drains were taking some away. Just got the issue of my engine decided to have a wee slurp of water but not enough to stop my outing with tim and james though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm in Bristol and, ok, it's damp outside but it's not really rained all day and there's no sign of flooding here... strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Flooding in Low Ham (nr Langport) Lot of standing water on roads in Taunton Tonight aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 North Warwickshire - flooding everywhere! Ditches overflowing and creating foot deep puddles around every other corner with queues of traffic. Fun charging through them, the free car wash removing all that salt from the last few weeks.

FridgeFreezer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 It's a sad fact of LR ownership that I have slight pangs of jealousy for those who have proper floods or snow or such like. Down here we get a few big puddles or a heavy frost and that's about it, enough to cause people to leave their brains at home but not enough to be "fun". Obviously I'm not making light of having your house flooded, just a bit jealous at all the opportunities for splashing about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just watched it on the BBC local news, shows someone with a 90 towing people out of flood water, any one on here?. I spotted that as well, hopefully the anti's will see it and see that we aren't all bad! If i ever pull an anti out... and they dont change their way... I'd put them back in deeper!

Bowie69 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The Meare to Glastonbury road was closed last night -the drainage ditch was literally pouring across the road -but then it's pretty common along there TBH. Didn't try Wookey ford, though I expect it's got to be 4ft deep at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 not quite the same calibre but i rescued a flatbed tranny with car ontop from Reigate hill yesterday, minor flooding and some of the land had made its way onto the road. Poor bugger's clutch had gone halfway up. Plod were their usual useless unhelping selves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
