If the weather forecast don't warn us about flooding or high winds or an impending heatwave, they get criticised. So it damned if they do or damned if they don't warn us, its a no win situation. So they just cover their @sses.
Same with schools in the winter months ,as soon as the temperature dips or see a few snowflakes , they close the schools, as the Headteacher gets it in the neck if kids get cold or freeze to death! So they schools are covering their assets too. Can't blame them.

Time to cut the nannying!

24 hours rain, and everyone's panicking again: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgrr7ydrpr9o

I got moderately damp walking home tonight. - BUT, I'm not made of sugar, am I?

Looks like we've got more rain coming over the next week pr so.

Cue moaning about energy prices.

We are being bled dry, price gouged and any other expression you care to use, by big business, aided and abetted by this corrupt and dishonest government.

I'm not saying Starmer would be any better...

Looks like we're in for a bit of proper winter over the next few days - the forecast's for cold & dry weather.

The reason we are flooding so much is not down to the weather but down to p*ss poor planning by the local authorities.

Too many people, too much over-development... I could go on, but why bother...?

There's flooding all over the place, and the usual few people who've had to be rescued from the water: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/warwickshire-residents-urged-to-take-care-in-the-floods-47744/
