Flooding and Disruption

Chaos everywhere in our part of the world. No trains in or out of the South West, on the busiest travelling day of the year.

Good to see this Estate Agents under water tho'. Estate Agents are all basically spivvy slimy fucks who pretend they're working for you. They deserve to get wet.

Not nice. Imagine spending Xmas in a town hall or temporary accommadation? I bet there are some ruined presesnts sat swimming under the trees all over.

The Tamar at Greystone bridge is higher than my mum in law has seen it since she were a kid and that is a long time ago.

It feels like it's been raining for about 3 years now only occasionally stopping for no more than a few days at a time. Something is very wrong with the UK weather.

Glad I travelled yesterday evening. Paddington quiet, and managed to get a seat... plus train only delayed by 25 minutes.

Not possible to get beyond Tiverton today, should imagine it's hell on the roads too driving in these conditions.

I have never seen the ground so water logged, a light shower seems to be enough to cause havoc and mini tsunamis running down the street.

There's still a hospipe ban. Wrong kind of rain.

I've got a tee booked for Xmas Eve morning - looks like it'll be a full english and hitting the Rattler early...

Anyone know what the roads are like in the South Hams - road to Stoke Gabriel?

Black with a white line down the middle and a tad damp!

If you're making the trip Knecht then I would imagine that it'll be OK if you use the A38 and then via Totnes.

Just keep your doors locked going through Narnia Totnes and it will be fine

Boringdon Park. For a fairly new course, it drains pretty well. But it will need to!

My mate has just got back from Zurich and he said the weather was shitty all over Europe, they caught a train up through Basle and into the Alps and were heading for the Matterhorn, didn't get there because of the snow! The guard said the train will get there as a matter of principle but he said the timetable was out the window, this fact nearly made the guard cry! One of the most expensive countries in Europe but you can buy a ticket for About €100 which allows you to travel anywhere in Switzerland on train, bus, tram, makes our rail network look like the privatised Tory joke that it is.

Such a shame there hasn't been ten years of Nu Labour in the middle to put the railways right instead of accentuating the feck up that is the UK's transport network

Nu Labour, Nu Tory, whats the difference?
