Cheltenham is like a ghost town

[Burdock]

Saw a report on Breakfast News that apparently some people have been peeing / pouring bleach in a bowser...

[Chugnut]

Four meals from anarchy. Great illustration of how fragile the whole of society is. If the electric, gas and water supplies went off, 24 hours later there would be total chaos, a week later people would be killing each other and forming armed gangs for protection....

Last time I remember being a few days away from anarchy was the petrol crisis back in 2000. It was only a few days but you could sense it all getting a bit uneasy.

They have tankers of water going in ready for monday i'm told, which is excellent news as i'm sitting on my arse earning nothing while my client has shut down thier offices in Cheltenham atm, 2 weeks fee down the drain, bloody floods!!!

[Sockpuppet]

How can you say you are not a trucker, then?

Quite easily. I have many hours alone in my lorry to convince myself that it I am not one.

HTH.

According to this Cheltenham gets water on Tuesday. Poor old Woodmancote is bottom of the list and has to wait till Thursday.

[Lambros]

Anyone who is able to afford to live In Woodmancote is NOT poor. Although Woodmancote is bottom of then list I doubt whether many of the residents would have been using the bowers and collecting free bottled water from Severn Trent collection points. I expect most of them would have vacated to their second homes.

I've been to Tewkesbury today, and despite being disaster centre of the entire universe, they've had water since Friday. But they're still being told not to drink it.

I wonder if that chap is still driving around with his "I SPY" number plate...

Yes, and there're a pair of jokers one with "MI5" and the other with "SIS". Must of cost a packet for them plates.
