Just been watching countryfile, showing a farmer whos barley field is now just a field full of rocks, poor sod!
You really have to feel a bit sorry for cumbria when you think about it... firstly there was chernobyl when the cumbrian fells were one of the most contaminated places in northern europe due to prevailing winds, then foot n mouth when they were the worst affected area in the country, now the floods! I bet unlucky Alf must live in cumbria.
