tipping it down again here now, not needed. Just come back from a drive around Aldermastom, Thatcham areas. Many roads shut or impassable, many houses in Thatcham flooded, mostly on new developments built on flood plains (when will they learn !). Apart from the distress to homeowners the most heartless thing we saw was many abadoned cars had had thier windows smashed and contents stolen. I wish a plague upon the thieves.
