On the plus side, there is no need to shower with the dog as you can just put it out in the garden.

Worst rain I've ever seen that. Once in a 100 year storm they reckon. Mental, was stuck on the coast road at Heaton for about 6 hrs that night.
Just aswell 90% live in shiity flats then.. The communal bins will be floating all owa.

I love these sweeping statements about London.

Can't wait to get to work on the River Lea floodplain in the morning. Maybe I should take my wellies
Scorchio in the Duchy today
Makes a change mind as it’s normally me moaning about the rain

I jumped off the bus at the corner house and walked 4 miles along the coast road home....was carnage.

Doesn’t look that bad? I presume that’s more piss taking
Some areas have had an average of 3 months summer rain fall in a couple of hours and it’s still going to belt down until midnight in some parts.
It’s quite bad and also, rarely, quite widespread affecting most boroughs

This, it happens in London and it's big news, elsewhere and it's a local story, was worse here about 10 days ago.

Hasn’t rained that much where I am in Havering today but we had a tornado and severe flooding in June which all happened while we were out in Hackney where there wasn’t a drop of rain. Getting odd how extreme the weather can be only 10 or so mile away.

During the Euros wasn’t it? Finished graft in Newcastle and popped in to watch Germany v Italy (Balotelli double?) at the Hancock just as the rain came in. Pure chaos ensued. No Metros, buses or taxis so we just kept going til someone would take us back over the bridge. Think someone finally picked us up from The Cut about 3am, battered.
Just been out watering the garden. We got a text from Severn Trent on Thursday saying don’t water the plants as it was going to rain all weekend.
Not a drop has fallen since.

been out in the garden here most of the day, quite pleasant really.
