    It seems that 48metres is needed to give Chippenham direct access to open sea. We could have our own inshore fisheries protection fleet!

    28m, more of a worry is the tsunami generated by the canary islands volcano. I have an quake app on the phone………..

    At 195m up I am not too worried! Interesting map at that level though.

    I live in the Fens, some of which is below sea level. I’m at the top of a ‘hill’, 50m above sea level, so I may have to get a boat.

    I’d be fine in the top flat, but at 23m I’d be need a boat to get to work.

    24-32m which given in less than a mile from the beach doesn’t feel too bad.

    Having said that our beach hut would be an early casualty.

    90 feet, and we’re only 1/2 mile from the sea. Reckon we’re safe for a while though…

    At 20m the Isle of Ely Will be an island again at 25 all but a tiny piece will be under water. When you live in the fens 5m elevation is a lot!

    191 Meters.

    That said, it’ll probably blow down before it gets flooded.

    EDIT: If the world floods at 190 meters, I’m making a break for the ‘Dales.

    At 160m Scotland is separated from England by the the Straits of Haltwhistle….has a certain ring to it!!

    I wonder if Wee Eck and The Surgeon have thought of this?

    260m….I’d live on a tiny island though.I’ll try and remember that when having to ride up ‘that bloody hill’ to get home.

    My ( shared ) front door is a couple of metres below sea level at the moment, but as I live on the 12th floor, It would have to raise a fair bit for the inside of my apartment to start getting wet.

    900m, not too worried although I’d definitely have my parents in the spare bedroom.

    erk! 24m and I’m paddling – however the nuclear power station a few miles from here would probably go all ‘china syndrome’ if there was a flood which would at least raise the water temperature..

    440ft, so should it happen I’ll console myself that Liverpool, Manchester and Cheshire have all gone the way of the dinosaurs 😆

    96m to my front gate. That will make approaches to Pedalabikeaway in the FoD damp. Very nearly cutting the FoD in half . West Dean would be an island. I have often thought about independence 🙂

    250m. I’d be on a small island. To the east, a small proportion of the costwolds above the water, to the west, the brecon beacons

    Bristol, Birmingham,manchester Cardiff all gone

    17m for me before I start to get twitchy. So much for living in the north. Damn you vale of York grrrrrrr

    228m. I think I’m safe. The flood risk would be from the River Spey, not the sea

    240m would give me a nice sea front property on the side of a Fjord.

    Go on, use that car, burn that coal, spray those aerosols 🙂

    145m to flood the basement, but only need to go 2 streets away to get to safe ground

    doesn’t work for previous residence. even at 0m it says flooded. and that’s for a town in Netherlands, apparently at 4m elevation.

    Given on the higher side of town, reckon 70m comfortable, 80m with water lapping the door

    348m, the rest of you are long gone, Pennines, Exmoor, Dartmoor and Lakes is all thats left of England.

    252m. Britain is pretty much a series of small islands at that point though, I think the pub is still ok though, so that’s where I’m headed

    26mtrs in Boroughbridge. I do, however possess a Canadian canoe & 15 fishing rods so I should survive.

    more of a worry is the tsunami generated by the canary islands volcano. I have an quake app on the phone………..

    I’d be more concerned about that if I lived on the Eastern seaboard of the USA. If the Western side of La Palma fell off it could ‘potentially’ dump 500 cubic kilometres of rock into the sea!
    Or so I heard.
    This says otherwise…

    320+ meters. Pretty safe, might build an ark just in case.

    I’m 25mtrs of mean low water springs here on the coast, so thats not a fat lot left of dry land is it 😆 and our appt in town is on the Thames and we’re the third floor..

    So whilst I’ll get wet feet here on the coast if we scuttle back to town we’ll be fine I reckon 😀
