Oh Heck ! where ( roughly ) are you ?

I think you need to get a load of different sized yellow duckies and float them on your new river .
Look you can even get a king duckie !

I hope no ones home gets damaged.
A friend of mine got flooded a few years ago and although it was only about 6 /8 inches deep it did a lot of damage and took a long time and s lot of money to sort out.

( sorry if my first post seems a little insensitive )

I work on Oxford St and had to close early as our basement flooded!

Tropical sheets of rain here earlier - outer SW London. We’re on a hill though so no problem, but I would bet some poor people in the flat areas are having trouble.

This is because London is too built up for the water to escape fast enough?

slow moving thunder storms according to the weather report
