Chapter 9, in which piglet is completely surrounded by water.

Blinking heck and I slept right through it

One dead, dozens trapped in “biblical” floods.

British soldiers conducted house-to-house searches for those trapped by floods as deep as 2.5 metres. Troops also dropped down on lines from Royal Air Force helicopters, breaking through rooftops to pluck people to safety.

Er, right. Let me mosey on over to the window and look out on the raging flood a moment. Oh gosh – it is a bit wet down there. Well, I’ve enough food for the weekend and beyond, so here’s looking at you, kid.

  1. I hate to say this but…..
    Noah.

  2. I’ll have to get me a female of the species tout suite.

  3. No man is an island. Except when he is.

  4. It was very wet in Shropshire too!

  5. Question – when did they last dredge the ricers and clean the banks?

    As I said over on Ambush Predator, ‘my grandfather, a farm worker all his life, used to say that ‘if you didn’t manage the countryside it will manage you’. It appears he was right.’

    Why is it that the countryside is ‘managed’ by those from the city that only see it as a nature reserve and not a place where people live?
