>>>Nice yellow that... Funny as I mentioned it in the car lighting thread but that was exactly the colour of my old Herald. Reply to this message | Report message

I thought the MGB roadster looked rather nice in Primrose ... perhaps I'm 'on the turn'. :-)) Reply to this message | Report message

Driving on the old Portsmouth Road on the banks of the Thames into Kingston you can see how high the water level is accentuated by being able to look at the large pleasure craft that are normall hiding down lower. No flooding that I am aware of but it must be a close thing. Reply to this message | Report message

Here is the Kennet at Riverside in Reading on the 22nd December, snapped with my Galaxy Note. The area on the left behind the temporary barrier in the first picture is normally home to a handful of kiddies fairground rides. i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv196/DP_75/Misc/20121222_112216_zpsdf1dedef.jpg i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv196/DP_75/Misc/20121222_112212_zps5cb6b5b5.jpg Reply to this message | Report message

reading under water is a vast improvement Reply to this message | Report message

You say that, Zero (and on the whole I agree), but Riverside is testament to what regeneration can achieve. There are far worse places to sit and enjoy a cold beer and some food on a summer's evening. It's also the best shopping centre for miles around.

Not sure I could read under water. Glasses wouldn't work would they? :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Live webcam at the new Walton Bridge site. The fence immediately in front of the camera is now standing in water. www.camvista.com/streaming/waltonbridge.html Reply to this message | Report message

>> Funnily enough, just been there - Vid to follow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WFbZDyLeXM Warning, its 10 minutes long, you could get bored, but it has FiFi the Zero hound in it a lot, more water than the previous one, a transit in the flood (motoring link), and Walton bridge being built (motoring link) Reply to this message | Report message

Have you been following me? I parked right by Chertsey bridge. Were you the ugly bloke with the knackered foreign car? Dog looks all right though. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Lots of moisture on the roads this evening in my part of the world. Lashing rain all the way from Bradford to Settle with single file traffic round several large 'puddles'. I didn't enjoy Life of Pi, prefering the book, and a class 1 mimser, steady 35, reducing to 20, with a long tailback. Should'nt be allowed out. Reply to this message | Report message
