Northamptonshire has been washed clean!   Well, nearly                                                                                                                                                                              

Sheffield is pretty much flooded.. took me an hour to do 5 miles.. if i wouldn't have had to get the car later i would have walked home.

Theyve closed most of the roads round the meadowhall area due to flooding *grumble*
                                                                                                                                                                             

well i,ve been out most of the day on the bike , had a day poff work                                                                                                                                                                             

been fantastic here.  Baking hot.  We've been swimming at an outdoor swimming pool today.  Aaaah the stress                                                                                                                                                                             

Rub it in ya git why don't ya?                                                                                                                                                                              

I was thinking exactly the same thing Diane!                                                                                                                                                                              

u shud all get outta that dump while u can!   Taxes are high here, pay is about the same - but the quality of life is just sooooo much better!                                                                                                                                                                             

I can't Matt, English through and through and there's no place like home, as bad as it may get. Here til the bitter end                                                                                                                                                                              

i used to be proud.  Then the rest of the english became hooligans, and the country turned to shit, and the whole world hates us.  Gonna learn dutch and finish learning spanish asap and get away from being English.  U cant even fly ur country's friggin flag in england!!!  I've got 3 Dutch flags here now, and u can fly them with pride.  Every street has about 2 in 10 houses with flags.  And on the queens birthday - EVERY house has a flag on it!  Its amazing - the whole culture and national pride is great to be a part of.  I love this place and its people.  Back home in England you find urself just "putting up" with life and getting on with it, rather than enjoying it

Quote Matt: The rest of the English became hooligans   *slap* from one NON hooligan, well I'm not a hooligan til someone comes out with stuff like that     Give it time Matt and I'm sure you'll find something to moan about over there, and something you really miss (family excluded) over here   Anyone got a snorkel and flippers I can borrow? Glug glug I'll need to build a ruddy Ark soon                                                                                                                                                                              

Not too bad where i am as i live on high ground but a friend took me to doncaster and the  roads were very poor. Lots of roads closed inbetween bansley and doncaster scarlet do you know if the roads around meadowhall are any better as i want to go to smc bikes tomorrow as its there open day and i come in that way from the m1
