The Coastguard boys that have been in there helping out, are having to go against recent health and safety orders! We have all been told that we are not allowed to drive in flooded areas! So te guys doing this relief work are now uninsured while doing it!

That sj must have a diesel conversion. My standard 1300 is pretty useless at wading, as soon as the leads get wet she cuts out.

Just to right a little wrong here.
Thats not cornwall. It's devon.

Ottery St. Mary to be precise. I live 2 miles away. We only had 78mm of rain(I've got a weather station)in an hour. But I think the hail might have clogged up the rain gauge..

Have a look at the full BBC page. Makes me laugh because I live on a hill  :lol: :lol:
