I feel for all the flood victims up there.............

[lame plumber]

Looks like their misery is never ending, RNLI flood rescue teams have been put on alert to turn out Xmas and boxing day, so muggins may be duty mechanic as our full time lad may be missing his turkey!!!!!!!!!!!

3 times in less than 10 days. Been on the local news. Absolutely devastating and no respite. Put a load down overnight, more over the weekend and worse to come for end of next week.

Not sure I follow the end bit of Lame`s post but yeah deffo feel the poor souls.

 

[lame plumber]

the full time paid mechanic is on the flood rescue team, if he pokes off someone else has to cover for him. If they go it will be early xmas day I c a n d o i t s l o w e r if that helps rpm

Normal speed is fine Lame :yawn: Just couldn`t see the connection between North Devon and where the floods are up there unless there is a shortage of mechanics of course.

 

[lame plumber]

always a shortage of mechanics, hard to get the right quality and calibre personnel to do the job






























still dont know how I got the job..................

you look sea sick just standing there.....................

If I remember correctly I'd been floating in the sea all day being rescued and thrown back in again for people on a safety boat course. I was one of the instructors and drew the short straw. I was freezing my knackers off despite a full length thermal suit, woolly bear and dry bag.

Nowadays when I thinkback I realise I never saw anyone else's straws!

 

[lame plumber]

some one of your stature cant do anything but draw the short one.............. probably down to the lickle arms................... ooooooooooooooooooooooh cant help myself

 

[turnpin]

And to think we all moan about nothing really to what these poor souls have had to endure with little respite ...we sometimes need to step back and see how lucky we really are Turnpin

 

[REDSAW]

My mate lives in Cockermouth, we spoke over the phone yesterday and it horrible is how he described it

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Really feel for those involved,devastating for them

 

[turnpin]

What riles me in these times ..and correct me if I'm wrong where is the help from our so called common market or should I say EEC partners offers of support for these poor souls whose lives have been turned upside down....yet we always seem to be first in line to dish out aid to other countrie's .......rant over...Turnpin
