Barmy weather

[steve66 3,402]

Well in one week weve gone from snow ,ice rain tempretures below freezing to a barmy 15 degrees today , parts of wales flooding and more heavy rain predicted next week 

So at cop 29 they have agreed to give 300 million dollars to small island countries , surely we should be investing more in our own flood defences and looking after own ?

My daughter is currently stuck upstairs in a holiday cottage near Monmouth her 3 year old bmw msport is in the garden under water short circuiting merrily she was on the phone a minute ago and showed us the fire brigade in a boat rescuing an elderly couple next door both the roads in and out the village we live are flooded so even if she gets out it’s touch and go if we can get her mental

From what limited experience of canal boats I've had ,is manoeuvring them in a strong wind is a nightmare?

Hopefully you can collect her , ive seen flooding quite afew time in this area and its devastating to see people loose everything , then when they eventually get sorted out  there insurance goes sky high if they can get insured, house value falls ect 

That why i think we should be spend more on flood defences than sending money abroad

not a good area to live in anymore unfortunately.upton on severn just a couple of weeks ago was flooded yet again.more buildings and more concrete are to blame.soon even less fields with labour builing more and more to accomodate the new brown army ffs.

Billions and Billions being given to Vanity projects all over the globe, Winter fuel allowance withdrawn from most pensioners, Farm being bankrupted upon deaths with inheritance tax. whilst at the same time giving away 500 million to help foreign farmers in third world countries, Billions on Net zero and other green projects that at the end will make us all poorer. So no energy security. no food security, No national security, No border security, Two tier policing, two tier justice, No freedom of speech, I could go on but it just gets more and more depressing, Now who was moaning about the weather Lol.
