[QUOTE="jellybean, post: 6637963, member: 6502"] I wasn't slagging off those affected by the flooding but I am very aware of such risks. My son and his wife bought a house near Winchester which got flooded twice. I don't suppose it occurred to them what the risk was until it happened but once it has and you are then aware of the lie of the land, the farmer whose maize ground allows a fast runoff onto the road and the council drain that has a 9 inch pipe right outside your house but which reduces to a 4 inch pipe 200 yards away right underneath the golf course then you are in possession of the facts. My own house is at 600 feet above sea level but could still get flooded from runoff if I hadn't dug a protective ditch and diverted any potential problem. Caveat emptor and all that. [/QUOTE]
