An airburst would put down bridges on the M6 - and bridges plus the overhead electrics on the WCML - plus disrupt resupplies from 16 MU, etc.

No no, they just wanted to take down the Sheridan. No sensible Red Army soldier wanted to go into the Sheridan, especially on a Saturday night.

Mmm, not sure, when they arrived and had "boots on the ground", it would have been difficult to tell if they had actually hit it.No no, they just wanted to take down the Sheridan. No sensible Red Army soldier wanted to go into the Sheridan, especially on a Saturday night.

Is it me, or is this getting more frequent? Is it the run-off from the new (ish) Marston Grange estate making it worse?
You'd have thought with it happening so often now dredging Marston Brook would be a priority - but I suppose that's probably a different department from the people who have to deal with the broken down cars and road surface damage.

I was thinking the same along Lichfield rd earlier- I don't remember there being such frequent flooding opposite to Hough retail park

In my humble opinion, there are a number of areas where apartment blocks or estates have gone up and the roads near these have large amounts of water. Not really rocket science that hard areas don't absorb if drains aren't effective enough but a real case of "told you so!" Add on such things as all of Castlefields being built on, St Leonards works estate, Tixall Road, plus a new development near the back of the station, we will have to make room for a few more balancing lakes or go under!
I just recall walking that way. There were steps by the Crown and equivalent steps the other side. Don't recall a way which didn't include hauling to the top and back down again. If there was I wasted a lot of time and energy.

From where the ex and I lived on Crab Lane, you could see over the rooftops of Stafford, right over to the Chase on other side.
He always used say that if there was a massive flood, we'd be ok up on the hill. Just every one else'd drown.

Dude, the Queensville roundabout is THIS SIDE OF THE FECKING RAILWAY BRIDGE.
If one were to travel from the Queensville roundabout to Baswich, one would not traverse the bridge BECAUSE IT'S THE OTHER FECKING WAY.
I promise not to advise anyone to cycle from this day forth - regardless of whether it might be for your own good or not.
I'd further just like to take this last opportunity to say f**k you all, and the cars you sail in on - maybe i'll give you a wave as i pass you fulminating in your pit of despair.

Lol but nevertheless, @Withnail does have a pretty big point even if it could be expressed a little more diplomatically.It never occurred to me that you had actually invented the bicycle. That until you came along nobody had ever seen one, let alone ridden one.
Tell me what's it like up there on that plinth ?
Ooh, hark at me taking about diplomacy

I remember some time ago there was a vote on Radio 4 about mankind’s greatest technological achievement. What would win ? The jet engine, digital technology etc ? no, it was the humble bicycle !

Also in the interest of disclosure, I've had bicycles continuously since the 1950's and still have and use two. What I don't do is preach to other people about it.

Had local radio on while sat in the Stone Road traffic this morning. Lights on A34 for inward and outbound, while radio was saying delays on Newport Road due to more lights. Happy Friday!!!
