No, it's because it's me :-))

Amen to that! My nephew trained at Lympstone, was a Captain and did two
tours in Afghanistan. I don't think he's into gardening, though... And
of course, he has better manners than Mike and his friends.

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

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!

and in the summer, more people in more houses will require more water for
their washing machines, showers etc etc and guess what? A couple of weeks
sunshine and there will be an appeal to save water!!

Could be worse David, I've just seen this......

A29 is shut due to flooding at Slindon and Berstead
A24 is shut southbound at Findon
Buses replace trains between Fareham and Eastleigh
Two cars stranded by flooding on the B3302 at Fraddam between Hayle and
Helston
Deep flood water on roads including the A399 Ilfracombe to Watermouth
A landslip has partly blocked the A386 near Bideford
The Lymington River at Brockenhurst has burst its banks
The road and rail network is disrupted by floods in Hampshire
The B3269 near Lostwithiel is closed
The A341 in Wimborne Minster is closed in both directions at the Canford
Magna junction
In Dorset several vehicles are stuck in flash floods in Holt Road, Three
Legged Cross, Canford Arena, Canford Magna

We have had over an inch of rain today, no wonder they have had the gates up
on the Thames weirs this week trying to get rid of as much water as
possible.

I was at Goring Lock a couple of weeks ago and the water coming over the
weir was just a solid lump, no 'bubbles', what it's like now goodness knows.

and I don't like the news from Dorset. I was through there yesterday :-((

Building on flood plains should have been banned long ago.

Why?
Just have to build floating houses.

Well I checked our rainfall at 3pm and we have had 1.9 inches in the
last 24 hours.

You should take the opportunity to ask yourself WHY it's you of whom
so many people are both heartily sick and deeply contemptuous. All of
us drift off-topic occasionally but absolutely nobody else but you
wilfully introduces totally unrelated matters virtually every time you
post, always seeking glory by basking in the shadow of others who
really have achieved something. IF that's how you want to appear to
others, it may be the only thing you do successfully.

Amen

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

And in our own very small way, I've just driven up one of our narrowes
lanes where the water is gushing down the side (no gutters) at such a
rate and with so much persistence that the tarmac is breaking up into
'steps' down the lane. It's creating a very pretty but dangerous
waterfall.

Sounds familiar to me. The small chunks can very quickly knock off
boulders. Scarper when that happens.

You should go with the flow.
