Mable-Thorpe 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Had to feel sorry for the donkeys today as they stood all forlorn in the poring rain. Never will understand why people would want to go on the beach in this terrible weather, there must have been at least five families braving the conditions.

jane 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Poor donkeys, they shouldn't be on the beach in those conditions. Hope the owner was with them but he/she probably employs a lackey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Fair play to any one trying to make a living!! As for the rest of us, who are just filling a few moments of spare time entering into some (occasional )decent conversation with like minded people ,whilst we break up the monotony of various college courses that we are studying ,to attempt to improve our chances to get back into employment. oh and by the way it's only 1237 posts (are you jealous because you can't think of something sensible to say all the time Rob?) By the way again I am just giving weather warnings to all in Nottinghamshire because you get it after me (oh and it's p1$$**g it down again 0245am) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Another flood victim, Gail Watson, reckons it is time Gordon Brown came to Hull. "He should come here and tell us who's going to pay for all the damage. Especially the people who are not insured," said Gail, as she piled her destroyed furniture outside her home....... FWIW, how about the folks who chose to be uninsured to pay? Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm sure nobody cares a toss, but it's raining for the first time in yonks. We've got a monsoon going, and it's luvly, Mrs 'oskins. It's a few days too late, 'cos on 4th July we had the annual firework display [against most folks' better judgement] and after the first 5 minute volley of fireworks, it all went quiet. Then we saw why. A spark had started a forest fire. Oops. End of firework display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 There's a lot of it everywhere today. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/more-roads-nottinghamshire-closed-after-3539910 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 We had some rain last night but we've only got puddles by the side of the road. Most of the Fen round here is well drained, with ditches alongside all the fields and the big 'cuts' which take the excess water from the rivers. There is one place in a nearby village which always floods, also a road on the way to St Ives but apart from those places everything is usually OK. I suppose we escape because there are no big cities round here... only villages. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 There's been a lot more than the usual amount of precipitation here in the last few weeks. I say precipitation as at the height I live, it's been coming down as sleet. It doesn't last long on the ground and because of living part way up a mountain, there is not much danger of flooding. One good thing about it is that the ski resorts are getting plenty of snow for the winter tourist season. (I'm not suggesting I like the tourists but a lot of the locals work at the ski resorts in the winter when the vineyards and perfumery land are 'resting'). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Never seen Nottingham flooded before. Hope it goes quickly. Just to keep up with the rest of Italy, we've had heavy rain for the last couple of days. We are fortunately in a position where it's difficult to flood although having said that we have landslides. Our village is divided in the old part where we are and the new part where shops are. The old part is up on the hills ( slopes) and when it rains the vineyards get their fair share of water and the rest runs onto the road as mud or into the ditches ( they are everywhere). It stopped raining last night and started to snow so this morning we have about 6" of snow that is thawing pretty fast. Havent heard or seen news this morning about Venice. They are really in a mess but thanks to the brigades of youngsters they are getting help with clearing up. This happens every year and they were saying yesterday that they don't know what to do as nothing seems to work to stop the flooding. I feel sorry for those wherever they are to have to deal with the traumatic event of flooding. It's so disheartening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Our road always floods when there's heavy rain as the drains can't cope, our drive slopes up from the road so house a few feet above road so safe from flooding. Moaned to Ashfield council many times but nothing ever done... Wife was staring through the lounge window during the heavy rain yesterday: I eventually let her in... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
