Another rather conservative blog, not bad enough to frighten the liberals but it does have one glaring example to demonstrate the woeful state of the education sytem "None of my neighbours or myself were told by the builders we were buying houses on a flood plain and built on marsh land". Errr hold on a minute there look at yer local river and work out whether you are more than a couple of metres above the water-level and it's obvious. Relying on someone to tell you something so darn obvious smacks too much of the nanny-state for a real conservative to me. Now I only did O-level geography but it was enough to teach me enough about flood plains to recognise one when I walk on it and if I remember correctly this topic was covered in the compulsory years. Poor old chap must be the product of a secondary modern.
Now seems to be ex-blogpower.

I hadn't realised you had a go about me back in July. Where I live is much higher than two metres above the River Hull. The flooding was caused because the water table across the city got dangerously high and the main pump in the pumping station failed at the critical moment. The water then came through the floor. There are places in Hull that flooded, where flooding has never been seen before. Before you start publishing petty insults, get your facts straight.

If you look at my post I'm referring to your comments about being on a flood plain.

Yes it will get the rain still but far as i remember it will all go down hill
I wouldn't count on it - one
I wouldn't count on it - one of the highest pubs in Huddersfield was flooded a few years ago simply because the farmer had dumped loads of rubbish in a field slightly further up the hill and it held back the water until it came down in a rush and swept through the pub.
You have to be careful that when going down the hill it doesn't detour into your living room!
