Default Floods in England

I've been reading of and seeing video on TV of the terrible flooding and
rain going on in England right now. Are any of our RCTYer's in the danger
zones right now? I sincerely hope not. Please let us know...

We live on a hill so aren't in danger of being inundated. But parts of my
county and city suffered very badly a couple of weeks ago. Nothing is
mentioned of those places now that the more southern latitudes are
suffering.

Perhaps even international news is London oriented ...

Not being familiar with England's geography, the article I read today was
datelined "Tewksbury" and spoke of Oxford and Gloucester in particular.
I'll have to get out my CAA map and have a look.

Yes, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire (Tewkesbury is a city down there) are
in the south.

Yorkshire is in the north, it makes us unspeakable :-)

Good!

We've just heard tonight that the commemoration of the Battle of Bosworth
has been cancelled, due to the fields being partly waterlogged and some
underwater. It's very disappointing, it's our favourite event. We don't go
to the Tewkesbury event although I heard that this year it was dry.

My good wishes go out to everyone effected by this... and I hope the people
in the northern counties who were flooded a couple of weeks ago are doing
well now too.
