Flood Prone U.K.

[Bob Mehew]

Surely the real concern is to prevent floods preventing access to caves; what is being done to sort that out?

They will build on flood planes as long as idiots are prepared to buy the houses.....

If you are buying a house, check the EA maps to see if it floods.

If it does flood....err......then don't buy it. If you DO buy it and it floods, then don't squeel like a stuck pig about it.

If people wont buy them, they will stop building them.

There must be loads of old mines running out under the sea in Cornwall and other places.

Couldn't the Government build some of their new homes down there?

Politicians could live down in the lower levels...
