The doggers are going to be gutted at Jackson’s boat.

Got sucked off down there once myself.

You sucked yourself off at Jackson's Boat? Legend!

River Irwell is a bit high...nowt to worry about just yet. I live in a flood risk area.. next to the big floodplains at Kersal...I think they're meant to protect us.

When is the government or the council going to take flooding more seriously and actually do something about it! People lives are being ruined!

What like flatten the hills and fill in the rivers? There are lots of flood plain precautions and measures in place. The environment agency does do something about it.

How’s the Cheese Hamlet doing?

Stay safe Blues. Strange times.

Stay safe blues. Hopefully the river levels start to drop soon.

Let's keep the political digs out of here.

Didn`t they use to open a sluice and flood Withington golf club to try and lower the river.

Luckily near parswood/ didsbury there’s lots of fields and flood plains to soak the water up.

the new airport road on the other hand is flooded again… floods every time there is a bit of rain. Whoever built it did a terrible job.

That new road is so badly designed. Not sure if the pumps aren't strong enough or what but that floods whenever there's a tiny bit of rain nevermind after a storm.

Anyone know if those bastards down the other end of the Mersey have blocked it up? Coach-wrecking, system hacking, river damming? Wouldn't put it past 'em.

The M60 opened with "Road liable to flooding' signs before the first vehicle got its tyres wet!

They still do, it's why golf courses are all along there plus Sale Water Park. All have sluices to flood the area and its why I smile when I read posters putting stay safe blues. It must be a modern thing !
I doubt anyone in the entire history of the area has even got their feet wet. 20 years ago the river authorities raised the banks by 6 foot !

 

[york away to this!]

Post of the year so far. I doff my cap in your general direction...

it’s horrendous. Reading up on it that company that made it went bust half way through it. Not sure where else you could have built that, but it’s in an area that regularly floods.

seems like there is no drainage at all.

Mersey is down below the footpaths in West Didsbury.

Not where Im sitting its not, reminds me of last time the river got high and the media made out that west dids was underwater, yes the river is high and a few roads near it might suffer, but the way its reported is that we all sat on our roofs waiting to be saved.
