read this and have a reality check before you go believing everything in the media, you’d be amazed by how much of it is completely untrue when you have first hand experience. See the link below.

Cuts have happened over the last 20 years, to put it down to one party would be naive.

The Somerset levels have flooded on numerous occasions since reclamation. The 1919 floods saw 28,000ha inundated, currently there is 6,500ha under water. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out it was a f*&^ of a lot worse in 1919.

Why shouldn’t people take personal responsibility for where they choose to live? Its pretty blindingly obvious that very low lying areas are at higher risk of flooding, likewise with properties next to River or the Sea.

Depends on your contract I would think

All too often roof/eves height takes precedence with planners. I’ve worked on numerous projects trying to rectify flooding due to this on some very recent buildings, sad really.

definitely huck, but clearly sue barker had something else on her mind the dirty girl

choke was word of the day for slope stylers….

fun to watch though

I have a pair of Cotic wheels almost new I need to sell, can find the details when I get home?

They do yes, and self sealing air bricks etc. The problem is your house isnt designed as a water proof box, the water will get in somehow such as through the floor, walls and many a scheme has failed this way.

However your local authority can still apply for funding for these “property level flood protection” grants to help you out if you’re at risk.

War on London Village roads, any chance we can throw a wall up around it and leave them all to eachother

I’ve just gone for a Sensa from Merlin at that price point, got a good review recently, and comes with 105. Not got it yet (2wks ish build time) though

I have a day one cross I use for for a short on/off road commute plus occasional on road jaunts up to dartmoor, works well for me, but maybe not ideal if you want to do more serious bits on the road such as sportives.

Genesis Day One, mines superb on a mix of gravel/rooty tracks and road for my short cumute

keep your back to the wall

Did they know the rules when they decided to cheat? I assume so, so they cheated, got caught and now at least ought to have the balls to accept the penalty

I’m still a wee bit confused as to why they are not building more reservoirs – plenty of water about, we just let the rivers flood and it goes into the oceans.

Thames Water having been trying to build a new reservoir for going on 40 years…everybody wants modern infrastructure, but nobody wants the disruption of building it. So we’re stuck with the Victorian Water supply system.

top stuff, just moved to exeter and my commuting bike needs some tlc

http://www.iii.co.uk for me, maybe use the regular investment tool, that lets you invest on a set day each month for £1ish a trade, and normal trades are resonable too. Lots of tools/discussion too, and I’ve always had good service from them.

email the athletic union?

canal du midi is alright to Carcasonne, but ropey onward from there.

Just tried my first DE shave, delighted that it was bloodless and really not v expensive to try it. I used a Wilkinson Razor from boots (£5) and boots own brushless cream (£1), brilliant.

prosport is excellent, last fo 8 hours windsurfing, sailing or cycling in sunny places such as egypt, cabo verde and south of france its worked a treat for me

I didnt think P20 didnt UVA and UVB or maybe im confused.

no wonder I've never understood football, I've always thought it was played in 3D already

you should be able to get it collected and get a £100+ via a local scrapyard i found, dont give it away for free!
