Fecking terrible that pal hope you were insured and they pay out without too much hassle

[JDHUNTING 1,817]

Ye were insured! Couldnt get hold of them till this morning though as they were shut, now saying might be a week till they get to us as there all in cumbria. Just the hassle with two babies and dogs and all sorts, ho hum my relaxing 2 weeks off work dint pan out lol.

You've got my heartfelt sympathies JD. Must be a nightmare especially with young kids in the house. Hope you get sorted and everything back to normal soon pal.

Sad to hear that JD, hope everything gets sorted quickly.

My work was very close to being affected, I work near Shipley.

 

Drove through a small village down the road from us and it looks like the blitz. Rubbish attached to every branch, old walls reduced to rubble, caravans dumped in random places all crushed up like pop cans.

A lot of businesses have been damaged beyond repair, shipping containers and even a pop up cafe have floated off and jammed into bridges.

 

The response from locals has been incredible though, support groups popping up everywhere and everyone wants to lend a hand in some way

Thanks fellas, were in west lancs near the river douglas which burst its banks here, almost entire estate was flooded, strange sight everything being underwater.

My work got flooded in cumbria when we had them, I'm still cleaning it up now! Lucky I live a few miles away and wasn't effected at home apart from 4 days without power, a lot of people have been really affected and I sympathise with you mate. Brown smelly water that contains a lot of nastys including raw sewage!

One thing that has surprised me how round here has not been affected as bad as England but that might change bye the morn
