Where is the rant blaming the American Invasion of Iraq for your predicament?Originally posted by LambrosWe have floods but there is no water coming out of our taps. There are no public toilets open in the town centre and most of the restaurants even M & S's coffee shop in the High Street is closed. All the pubs are closed in Cheltenham and so is my leisure centre (Leisure at Cheltenham) which was flooded out last Friday.
