No doubt there will be an email from Network Rail telling us about the dangers of pouring concrete near an operation control room.

I wonder if the contractors were LU's own?

Intelligence levels of the people down south really are at an all time low. This wouldn't happen up north.

I like how they've called it flood damage.

I suppose it's technically flooded with concrete, that's not how I would automatically describe it.

You don't flood a concrete foundation.

Wouldn't it need to overflow to be considered a flood? You don't flood a bathtub either, but you might flood your bathroom if you forget to turn off the water.

If the concrete has set would it still be classified as a flood?

I'd then call it a spill maybe, still not a flood.
