And when the rain fell, the fields got soggy ... until they dried out.<BR/><BR/>Today as I look out along the same view, all i see is ... houses. Wall To Wall Housing. All needed to help alleviate the crisis caused by millions of incoming migrants of all shapes sizes and nationalities.<BR/><BR/>And when the rain falls now ... it rolls over their concrete drives, and clogs up the gutters in their new roads. Until it can't reach the sea. And then we swim for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886189736013458052.post-49074660156889405462007-07-22T11:13:00.000+01:002007-07-22T11:13:00.000+01:00As the son of a former waterways worker, I have ab...As the son of a former waterways worker, I have absolutely no doubt that the reason for the recent flooding is lack of investment and maintenance of existing rivers and tributaries which were once worked on by gangs of men and kept clear of blockages and plantation. In a similar fashion to the lack of investement and safety maintenance on the railways which have led to fatal accidents- certainly since the days of mrs "T" the infrastructure of the country was allowed to collapse, blame it on the get rich quick policies that carried on with Bliar. Couple this with continual builing on land which locals consider to be flood plains, and we are now witnessing the result. I'm afraid that old monster, global warming is a very convenient excuse which has the benefit of covering up the last few governments failings as well as selling the environmental lie of carbon footprint nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886189736013458052.post-86568335618388589342007-07-22T11:03:00.000+01:002007-07-22T11:03:00.000+01:00Good idea Anon.I think we should let the water go ...Good idea Anon.<BR/><BR/>I think we should let the water go down first though.
