They employ someone, whose job it is to coordinate floods?

Is that anything like synchronised swimming?

I have to admit, the first reaction here was 'well thanks for co-ordinating this one...'

Reminds me of ASBOs, ie. Antisocial Behaviour Orders.

Shouldn't they be called Social Behaviour Orders?

Or are they worried, in case it confuses former Allied POWs?

Hi People,
Thankyou for being so nice :-), I was just very tired and then worried that I had offended somebody. I read this and the Prep for Winter thread everyday and will continue to do so and I promise that if I think of something useful or interesting, I will post it on here!

Thanks again,

You might want to edit that link BB, as it gives your approx location.

I suggest replacing it with just http://www.metcheck.com/UK/

Thanks Bob

I only get 4 days snow Mar, but mine starts on the 15th (typical, as I have a hospital appointment on the 16th).

Unfortunately I also have another week of rain, so by the time the snow gets here I may well be marooned anyway!

Eek, I can't be doing with snow. Am now also v worried about the potential for no-loo situations, because my preps to date involve a bucket and the compost heap. Friends who go camping speak highly of the "Luggable Loo", but for staying at home I was thinking about something like this:

Has anybody got any experience of using this or similar? I'm currently up to 5 months worth of loo rolls, but what if I've got no loo? (There are no convenient woods to nip off to, back garden too small and overlooked etc etc)

According to Metcheck, today, I'm supposed to get 10.4mm (about 4" in old money) of very heavy rain.
