Floods?
How are you all doing regarding flooding?
Here we are just a couple of hundred yards from the Thames, luckily on a raised bit of ground, but I noticed today the river is over it's banks and lapping against the walls of the Swan pub in The Hythe opposite Staines. Around Chertsey Bridge this afternoon the roads there were virtual gridlock (took me over 30 mins instead of 5 to negotiate) as the B375 on the Middlesex side was flooded for over 200 yards to the roundabout and drivers were rightly taking their time driving through it, didn't help that a large caravan was parked at the side of the road (the driver was having a chat) forcing everyone over to the other, deeper, side of the road! (and they wonder why they get disliked!) Thorpe Park lake has risen over it's bank and is now flooding onto/across the Staines Road A320. Fields are flooded, not just wet, all around. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |
