My area has been unaffected so far, but if it carries on raining a lot more the whole UK might sink.

after the rain, sunshine will come (Asterix & Obelix is realy deep sometimes). ;-)
Does anybody know if Landudno is safe from this flood?
(my sister is there, trying to improve her english)

Bazza, no matter what happens, keep that photo safe! You are the keeper of the sacred frame! :-)
Stay safe, man.

It's been all over the news here; floods in Tewksbury, Oxford, Gloucester etc. It's the worst summer since records began. Luckily where I live hasn't been affected at all.

Boy I'm glad the town you live in wasn't affected Bazza!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if here in California we could get a little of the moisture that England is, yet another sign of 全球气候变暖!

Hey Bazza- Nasty stuff. A real hardship for too many, but I hope injuries are minimal.
Amber- Thanks for the translation. I think they really sink in situations like this.
