If anyone knows the size of the Lake at Mote Park near Maidstone in Kent
Then when I say the field along the Lane opposite my Bungalow now has a "puddle" in it that is bigger you will realise just how much wet stuff we have had recently

Going to play boats with the kids tomorrow methinks

The village my dad lives in in Shropshire is flooded. It floods all the time big style.

We got rain here in Midlands tonight.... and lots of it too.

We had 135mm of the stuff fall on our 75 (and the surrounding area!) in 2 days while we were in Spain last month. 20 cars washed into the sea at Malaga.

Certainly made me check for water in the plenum. All clear, surprisingly! Though the upper, outer chamber was well flooded, made me sweat a bit when I saw that.

Hi All,

Well a few years back we had a bit of a down pour one morning and the car park at Aldi's in Mold became a swimming pool for cars. Take a look at the pic, this was a few hours after the water level had fallen, it was over the tops of the cars for a few hours before the water started to recede.

There were a lot of roads closed around here last week. River Severn flooded

That pic brings back good memories of Mold for me, though we used to go into the Town Centre mainly. There were many non-chain shops in Mold that made it an attractive place to go
