With the greatest respect Iolaus, that report was dated five years ago, when we DID have some flooding here in the south.

Currently, we are in desperate need of rain in this part of the country, and prolonged rain at that, to restore the depleted water levels in the reservoirs, and natural aquifers which lie within the chalk of our local hills.
