I've been watching the flood situation on TV and really feel for the poor people affected.

Which stream is that Stan? I thought you lived "high up"? I live on top of a ridge (Guess which Stan? S..hill) so the water would have to be hundreds of feet deep to flood me.

I wonder if those people who go on about "The Environment" and are totally opposed to the dredging of rivers and watercourses are keeping a low profile while the flooding is taking place?
