I'll Give Yer F*ckin' Floodland...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Sending good vibes to all affected.

Yeah, it's not just the physical damage but the mental trauma that goes with it. Totally different circumstances but I was once avacuated from my flat for a whole year while they basically rebuilt it after storm damage collapsed all the chimneys. No-one was injured, I didn't actually lose that much that couldn't be easily replaced and the insurance company was brilliant but the anguish and living out of a suitcase was bad enough in itself. So I have an inkling of what it might be like for people involved. They're all going through hell just now and don't know when or even if it will stop or if there's more to come. Our thoughts are with you all.

sounds a pretty grim experience, hope you're able to get cracking on clearing things as best you can soon, what can be said? :( :roll: My folks are in the Lakes but doing ok, sitting it out until there's a break

The physical damage is enough to give you grey hairs but like you say the mental trauma or emotional trauma is the worse kind I would think! And then not knowing when you can start rebuilding again after all the mess is cleaned up! Goodness me, your story of having to live out a suitcase and the anguish for a year I can also understand! The last I heard & that was at the beginning of the week was that more rain was expected. If anyone wants to help I know there is a fund set up on FB to help with regards to contributions.....

....I'm sure Mr. Hunter will post a linky for that! :wink:

Thanks, mucker. The Army are in today to set up a Bailey Bridge across the Derwent.
