In regard to all the hyperbole, sensationalism and and kneejerk reaction to the folly of building on the now buzzword 'floodplain', you could say nearly all Norfolk, Suffolk and the Netherlands come under that category!
My dog and I have just been for a paddle through the Town Gardens, the highest point in Swindon, and the flood water is standing up to a foot deep in places.
So have a ponder on that all you NOOFGs (not on our Front Garden).
