It's not as bad if you've got insurance and can replace them (although it's bad enough to loose everything) , but they are now refusing to insure certain postcodes because of flooding. How would you sell a house in a flood area thats not eligable for insurance?
It's not like we don't all pay for it anyway with higher premiums when we next renew :mad: |

My brother lives in Anlaby and has lost everything downstairs and the car, freezer/food in his garage. Yes, they're only things but they've worked so hard like most people have. I'm glad you're enjoying your lives out there. Are you sure you're not missing it? :rofl: |
Re: Floods and more water
Oh yes, I hate to think what the premiums will be going up to after this!
It was 46 degrees here today with the humidity, but if you shut the house up even if you don't have air conditioning, as I don't - its bearable. I can't imagine what it must be like for those people returning to their houses - even after the water goes - they are full of stinking mud. I hope everyone on the board is safe. |

I can't understand how the whole of Europe are having a heat wave, yet a few miles across the channel in Blighty were all getting washed away.
Was chatting to Tracey (Arris) earlier, she's had to fill her bath with water and is on standby with candles :ohmy:. Not heard from her since so hope she's ok.

Thanks for your concern :) Our water went off at 7pm last night - other parts of Cheltenham 12hours before. Cheltenham, Gloucester & Tewkesbury have been warned that we'll probably be without fresh water for 7 days & possibly as much as 14 :eek: Bowers are being placed round the affected areas & bottled water is being handed out. It's been touch & go if an electricity plant that supplies Cheltenham, Gloucester & Stroud would get flooded. The River Severn was said to peak very early this morning that they were fighting against - it's looking hopeful that it's been saved. We have not been flooded in Cheltenham, but we have a close friend in Gloucester who was on friday - his had gone by saturday morning & left with an awful mess. We also have a friend in Upton on Severn whos home is flooded & his buisiness in Tewkesbury which he can't get too. Watching the news it must be terrible for people who have been & still are flooded we feel we have got off lightly with the lack of water. bye for now, Arris :D |

Its a huge portable container with taps they use to store water ,then they position them in at various destinations for people to have access to the water when the water supply has been affected |

400 bowsers so far have been distributed in Cheltenham, Gloucester & Tewkesbury - they are aiming for 900.
Some are on wheels, the ones in Gloucestershire are not - I have driven past several today with queues of people waiting to collect water. Listening to the local radio, people are reporting that some of the bowsers are being vandelised :curse: A new area of Gloucestershire is going to be affected by loss of water later today - the Stroud area & will be having bowsers delivered. |
