I think we should all live together in harmony, I know Northeners are a bit 'special', but we as the South should be take the higher ground as they don't know any better. The North can be kind of like our special cousin.

No, I think it's a call to buy property on a contour of 100m above sea level down South. You never know... Or at least not to buy property on one of the many flood plain-stricken areas that New Lie free up for development.Originally posted by DS23is that a call to arms? invade the nothern heights!"My God, it's huge!!"

Bloody cockneys spent all last Summer moaning about having no water. Now they've got some it's all moan moan moan again.

Actually, I'm suprised that there isn't some kind of Flood Aid being organised within the UK, where UK citizens can pop in to branches of banks and make a donation to help the efforts.
After all, many of the UK seemed jolly keen to "be seen" donating to Asia after their Boxing Day tsunami.
Although, perhaps I am being premature, and even as I speak, Asia are arranging flood donations to the UK, to help us out when we need it.
Which is nice and reciprocal.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
