DH went to pick up my aunt from Birmingham Airport 7 hours ago and is now stuck in the floods in Evesham. Where can they go to sleep the night, is there emergency shleter. Eeek eek eek. my aunt is 69...

Please point me in the right direction.

TBH I would try and get a hotel or B&B other wise it may be a roll mat on a school hall floor. Of course everyone will be trying to get accomodation

Thanks Califrau..skribble absolutely correct NO ACCOMADATION.

Told DH to phone police, they should know, surely?

[RedTartanLass]

You near Evesham Skribble?

[RedTartanLass]

Thye have an emergency shlter in Town Hall, bit of a tab for my poor aunt, and she's got a gammy leg. Worried sick..

[Skribble]

No sorry not familiar witht he area, just googling for where there might be a room.

[RedTartanLass]

Apparantly one of the supermarkets has stranded shoppers!! Of all the places to be stranded by floods, you can't get much better than that eh?

Can't get much up to date news. Anyone know what the local radio station is?

[Skribble]

TouchFM

[Skribble]

Star 107.5

[RedTartanLass]

Thanks Skribble, they're now in the village hall. Had a cup of tea and a biscuit Brit solution to everything. No blankets or anything to lie on however, but they're just glad to be dry!

[Skribble]

Ach she'll have them singing the White cilffs of dover before sunrise

[Skribble]

Aren't the WRVS wonderful .

[RedTartanLass]

Do you think that's who it is? WRVS? A coachload has just arrived, so sounds like it's getting a busy!

I'm meant to be taking aunt to Gatwick tomorow....double eek

[RedTartanLass]

Coachload of flood victims not WRVS lol

[Skribble]

WRVS always do tea and biscuits in emergencies, come nuclear war you'll still get tea and biscuits down the church hall honest, they'll be kitted out in anti radiation suits with their pearls on the outside.

my inlaws who stay in evesham while they're over here landed on my doorstep (by bham airport) saying they'd been evacuated from their caravan site on teh banks of the river

to be honest im tempted to look for cheap flights back to spain for them as the weather has been shite since they;'ve been here. Cant imagine what fun they;re having.

your dh and aunt should have called in on us. we have an airbed

[RedTartanLass]

I applied for a job with them last week, what a coincidence!! Didn't bloody short list me though eh? Head Office in Abbingdon.

[RedTartanLass]

JP you in Evesham? What's the chances of me getting over thers and driving her to Gatwick???? Are the roads too bad? Are you ils still ok?

[RedTartanLass]

Sorry just realised your near the airport!

[JammyPotter]

inlaws are staying here til tomorrow when they are then off to derby to stay with FIL's sister. They said the roads around evesham are terrible. It took them 4.5 hours to travel what is normally 45 mins

whe3re is your aunt going?

[JammyPotter]

im a bit worried about my sisters house. she lives literally over the river from warwick castle and they are on hols. They have a cellar which floods anyway in heavy rain. Anyone know if the river at warwick is flooded? i may go there tomorrow to assess it

[RedTartanLass]

She going to help orphaned children for 3 weeks in Romania.

[RedTartanLass]

Think Warwick is flooding as well, hold on I'll google.

[JammyPotter]

oh how sweet - hope she has better weather out there.

are they staying in evesham for the night? i guess the main thing is to make sure they have fuel and food and steal a blanket if they can
