Global warming innit

[marcus]

This was what I found when I went down to the workshop this morning:

And this is my partner's:

It's clear from the walls that it was six inches deep at one point.

Happy Christmas Everyone :? :deer

Ouch! Hope you get it cleared up quickly and without too much damage. Where abouts in the country are you?

 

[Wood Monkey]

Thats a real @rse.....!

 

[Ring]

OUCH INDEED :!: :!: :!:

 

[MARK.B.]

Just hope the damage was/is not to bad and that you are back up and running soon.

 

[Brian½]

That looks bad Marcus.

Mark B: ex RAF by any chance ?

Really sorry about that marcus. Hope no damage to tools or wip & best of luck with the clean up.

(Have heard on BBC Rad 4 that there've been lots of bad storms in UK).

Thanks everyone, looks like we got away lighter than first feared. Fortunately the hire shops are still open so we managed to get a vac pump and a couple of dehumidifiers, and fortunately there was no sewage in the water, which is the worst! Mostly cleared up now, bit more then we will stop for mince pies and forget it till boxing day

Custard, we are in West Sussex, so not even near the worst areas! The drains in our road are rubbish though....

I empathise completely, and I hope you don't lose too much of your machinery and tools. I am fortunate in that I live 560 feet above sea-level. Although my street became a river the other day. The water was lapping at the bottom of my drive, but as I live on the 'higher' side of the street, that's as far as it ever has encroached in 40 years of living here.

I don't blame global warming. I blame the amount of building at the top of the hill, where they felled hundreds of mature trees from what was once beautiful parkland; that and negative drain cleaning, that the Council used to do every four weeks.

Thanks Dean, that's a really kind offer, much appreciated. People are rallying round, I think we'll be alright now!
