It's certainly not unusual to have torrential rain in Summer. I refer
readers to the "Great Flood of '68" with wiped out 3 road bridges in
Keynsham and seriously damaged a fourth in July 1968. There was
widespread disruption for over a week in the West Country. I remember
speaking to a Keynsham resident shortly after this, who described the
sky as being extremely frightening and angry, with rain falling like a
continual sheet. The Army was brought in to build Bailey bridges and
generally assist.

Only 2 really got taken out totally by the flood - the two down past the Fry's factory, on
the Willsbridge road. The Bath Road bridge was still standing but a hole developed next
day and as it was clearly unsafe they replaced it rather than repair it. The Dapps Hill bridge
only lost its parapets, probably as it was so low it was already underwater by the time the
flood hit full spate. It finished the sweetshop at the bottom of Dapps Hill, though - the
water filled the ground floor completely - and so made the journey to school a little less fun
for generations of children.

Hey! There may be people reading who toiled for *days* to draw up a

it.

They may not have thought of it but global warming had started then
and this
June has been the wettest on record.




Actually not. The average temperature peaked in 1940 and dropped year
on year until 1975. Who didn't watch "The Great Climate Change
Swindle" in Ch4 recently?

The only swindle done was by the producers of that programme.

How do you indicate a missing apostrophe?
Point at where it belongs with an arrow as above.

Except you've got the arrow too far to the right.

Hear, hear! Sandman has done the right thing by removing the
cross-post on his reply (though, of course, we really need a way of
stopping *other people* from cross-posting), and the only other remedy
left to us is NOT TO FEED THE TROLL.

I urge all uk.tech.digital-tv regulars to killfile 'Lord Turkey Cough'

Some chap got caught in 'quicksand' on Blackpool beach and died in the
rising tide because no-one thought to go and buy a snorkel or advise
him to swim out of it.

Yes, yes.... I'm sure this happened. I'm sure the reason he drowned was
due to the lack of someone to advise him to swim away. Since the depth
of water right to the seawall when the tide is in comes to several
metres, one presumes they would have had to buy a snorkel and a very
long hose pipe as well.

A waste of the license payers money.

More than a shower, more than a heavy shower. The rainfall in
Sheffield and other parts of Yorkshire was quite exceptional. Believe
me, I'm an ex-forecaster, albeit some time ago but still maintain a
great interest and now "do it in the back garden", so to speak.

Yes I saw it. The evidence they presented was falsified. They tampered with the

The truth however is not as entertaining as a good conspiracy theory.

Humans do not "draw up" the timetables, infidel! They are given to us by
