Tuesday December 8th (aka 17 Years Working At Home)

Good evening, long time since I've posted in the the good morning thread

Congrats on the 17 years working at home Greenie

Being in the demolition bizz it's pretty hard to work at home. I think the girlfriend wouldn't be that happy about it. I myself have been self-employed for almost 8 years now, time flies, and have no regrets either.

Other than that, all is about the same as 6 months ago

Wet here. Very wet. Worse in the North.

In 2009 they had the heaviest rainfall on record up in North England/South Scotland. After the floods, which ruined homes and businesses, the government improved flood defences but said "Don't worry, that was a rare once in a hundred year storm, you won't see the likes of it again in your lifetime."

Last weekend, in the same area, they had an even heavier rainfall, breaking 2009's record downpour. The same people who spent a year in 2009/2010 repairing their homes, were again flooded out. Businesses that were nearly ruined by the last flood are again nearly ruined. New furniture, less than six years old, was destroyed by flood waters.

Understandably the people in the area are very angry. They want to know why more was not done to protect them after the last storm. Winner of the "most unsatisfactory answer" award goes to a mayor in one of the worst hit towns who said:

"This storm was a once in a hundred year event. In that this is the second time it has happened in six years, we were quite surprised!"
