I live near the River Wye. It has flooded over onto the meadows next to it, but our flood defenses have stopped it going any further, luckily!

I live less than 100 metres from the Thames.

But we have the barrier, so I couldn't give a monkeys.

Haha you noob - the Thames barrier only stops flooding in the event of a North Sea surge - it does nothing if the water comes from the other direction!

Ah well. At least you'll all get the pictures when we're sitting in gallons of river water.

Is your house on a floodplain? If it is, why did you buy it?
