What a disaster..!

I cannot drink tap water! Im out of money too and I need to boil every drink I want so buying water really isn't an option. The boiled water also has a weird taste to it.

The shopping centre I have my shop in got flooded quite badly, the tiles from the ceiling were falling in from the weight of the rain, Im so grateful my shop is on top of a slope because we missed alot of it.


I feel so bad for the people Im seeing on the news, Its so bad, I never thought it would happen as bad as it is.

Muddy4paws, I'm glad to hear you're safe. What shopping Center are you in? Brent Cross?

I've heard from John's family (they're in Oxfordshire) - and are OK. Part of their village was flooded, but luckily, they're in the other end.

However, it's a disaster over there! They're expecting the Thames to overflow down by the Henley/Reading area this afternoon.

This is from a street in Witney, the next was sent by someone with a sense of humour, and the last shows a man pumping water in his Pub, just down the road from John's family (Standlake).

I saw this on BBC earlier, isn't it amazing!! Maidenhead, where John came from is partly flooded too, and I don't dare think what his old friend's place look like now - he's in Lower Shiplake and has a lawn going right down to the backwater of The Thames! Think I'll give him a ring.

This is a Google Earth image of Lower Shiplake, his house is where the red dot is! View from his lawn.

I'll bet he has wet feet.... So how are you guys coping living in the country with plenty of hills and dips over here and when it rains we get it too. thank god my garden slopes down from the house and not the other way around....
