Does Mrs O Have Her Snorkel Ready?

[Ann]

Just seen Whitby on the news, had floods at high tide last night, I thought about Mrs O!!
Seriously though, our thoughts are with all those who live on the East coast who have had to evacuate their homes last night and experienced flooding in businesses and homes. It must be really dreadful for them.

She could wear a pair of Marigolds on her feet, Ann, make a great pair of flippers !.

[Ann]

Now why didn't I think of that - from the Marigold's thread yesterday!

[tonyav]

Not to late to put it on, Ann.

Morning all.

The town centre was dreadful last night, even two streets away from the harbour were flooded. The brand new Weatherspoons (I never wanted a chain pub in the town anyway) is trashed and Mr O has some fantastic pics of the town at its worst at high tide. He came home feeling very smug with himself until I broke the news that the roof has blown off his local pub.
We are safe and sound as we live on the West (posh) side of town which is very high up.

Wot, hope they've' got the roofers in today.

glad to hear you're safe mrs o, you won't be needing these then.

seriously, my sympathy to all those affected.

Vulcan, do all Yorkies have webbed fingers ?.

[aelmpvw]

thought you were tough up north, a roof on a pub is an unnecessary luxury

[tonyav]

Would it make the beer cheaper if no roof though, aelmpvw ?.

[aelmpvw]

if it was raining you would never finish your pint

Good thinking aelmpvw, encourage speedier drinking = more profit for the landlord.

tony, I can tell that you have developed a bit of an attitude in my absence.
I want those Rupert Bear annuals back NOW while I go check that the cattle prod is fully charged

[Ann]

Glad you are safe and dry Mrs O, but no dramas there to tell us! x

The pictures in the Daily Mail of the floods are horrendous ..........

Vulcan, those marigolds would be no good for half the population of my town as they only have 5 fingers

[tonyav]

Oh gawd, I've flogged the Rupert Bear annuals, hope I can buy them back !.

[SlackAlice]

Well, you live and learn on here.

Didn't know Whitby had a 'posh' side ☺☺☺
