Water water everywhere.

You can understand the anger of people who have just about got their lives together after last year's floods, only now to be flooded out again. Not surprisingly they are asking why 12 months on, nothing has been done. It seems as though local and central government took the view that last year's weather was a "one-off" and wouldn't happen again, at least for some time. Whether they will now take flood defence more seriously remains to be seen, but for the sake of those affected, it is to be hoped so.
