After the thing about people loosing money it has a bit about a flood and a firecrew having to save 2 people from a land rover discovery that was only a week old. No mention of the other cars stuck in the floods nearly up to thier roofs! :twisted:

Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on January 15, 2008, 15:41:04: Just for a change, it has started to rain again. If the water company quack on again about water shortages and the reservoirs not filling up, then they shall be getting a few strong words, methinks!

They always seem to be the ones in small dark-coloured cars too - they blend into the road surface on grey days. I've even had them flash at me before now. Erm, yes, I know my lights are on thanks, I've put them on because if I don't I'm completely (as opposed to only mostly) invisible to the rest of the world!

It doesn't look that much like a squirrel - I was careful to avoid wearing it anywhere near the BBC people who turned up to the last Powys 4x4 Response training day as I felt someone wandering around in the background with a hammer and sickle on their hat might not be great PR... :lol:
