Wasn’t much better yesterday afternoon! Had to abandon any plan of shopping at Aldi as so much of the car park was under water.

Never going to change, i remember when there was a plan to put a multi there, the lower floors were going to be floodable because it was too expensive to stop the car park flooding

Enjoying a drop of red.
Even if you stop it flooding there, where is the floodwater going to go?
Better to inconvenience shoppers every now and then than to have houses being flooded.

Or we could just strap the councillors who have ignored the town's flood issues and built on the defenses over the years into ducking stools and be done with it.Perhaps, if we just had more faith..?

I remember seeing one of those as a child on holiday.If only the Sandon Road Motors place was still there - an ideal location for an Amphicar dealership.

I remember seeing one, which must have been a very early one, in Malta.
It was in the sea, which may not have increased its longevity.
It had the look of an amphibious Triumph Herald.

Yes, I remember the one I saw as like a Triumph Herald.
On looking up their history today I find they had a Triumph engine but were built in Germany. Most Amphicars were sold in the United States and of a total production of 3,878 vehicles only 97 were right-hand drive.

A potential solution - but, the driver looks like he could do with his own snorkel, too.

She could stand in the middle, holding a sword - that sort of thing seems to have been popular with her crowd lately.
The lady of the lake and excalibur?

Yes, she was named after the cruiser HMS Lady Penelope.
And her butler Aloysius Parker's specially-modified Rolls Royce could easily navigate Lake Sandon.
Don’t be daft. She’s too busy working hard looking after the kids now maternity leave has ended.
