Even by our standards it's wet with a lot more to come in the
next day or so.


Yup - see http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

75-80mm forecast for parts of S England today.

I live just off the A32 a little North of Stone, the water
hereabouts has cause chaos. The A34 is closed so there are no local
buses. What is going to compound, it in the future, is that they are
going to build houses on a floodplain near by, no doubt extra
drainage will be installed, which will move the problem further
downstream!

Building on flood plains should have been banned long ago.

Why?
Just have to build floating houses.

We do, thats why a some foundations are called rafts. The whole structure
moves, rather than part of it.
