Fine about Glasgow, we had a bit of rain on Sunday but has been dry and cold today.

Think West coast is ok for the moment.

My village.








Probably about 4.5 ft at the lights and about 6ft on the field by the seat.

Makes my journey to work about 20 mins longer!

We call this a bit of rain.

Nah in fairness I was in Greenock today, it was fine. Absolutely fucking baltic though, like bitterly cold.

Was told a38 was closed.
Slip road was open, so I took it.
Needless to say the carriageway was empty passed loads of police cars blocking entry slip roads though
Didn't see one puddle and got home faster than normal winner.

Went from wallsend nr newcastle down to dewsbury today. Heard a19 was shit so went a1, didnt stop raining, every river had burst banks and most fields were under water but we didnt stop all the way.

Guess people are too scared with a bit of water.
