Re: The floods
I'm rather ticked off about this as well. Us northern monkeys were flooded, and it was a week before anyone mentioned it down South. The only place were it got any real coverage was on the local news, Look North. Heck, at one point a dam was at risk of bursting, and did you hear about that being main news nationwide? No!
And now a few thousand fields are flooded and some poor Southerners go without water and the news channels won't shut up about it.

As it happens my brother lives in the worst affected bit of Worcestershire (which to my mind is not the south BTW). Its a bit more than a few fields being flooded.And now a few thousand fields are flooded and some poor Southerners go without water and the news channels won't shut up about it
Anyway, when Hull was flooded that was all over the news, and, come on, HULL !!!

Well, you could celebrate the end of the nanny-state. I heard it's a bad thing.

Not quite the same as receiving a fortnightly giro though, is it?Well, you could celebrate the end of the nanny-state. I heard it's a bad thing.
The first duty of a government is the safety of it's population. Unless you live outside of London of course.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: The floods
I object to Gloucestershire etc being called "The South". They are not, and we don't want them to be. They are practically Welsh over there!
I think everyone was kind of hoping that Hull would be washed away or left underwater like one of those lost villages. The newshounds lost interest when this proved not to be the case.
