We've been f**king flooded - I've got a brazilian litres of water in my cellar

and I've been on BBC News 24 - a 14 yr old kid got swept away in our swollen river, and he got pulled out into our back gardens by the son of our next-door-but-two neighbours. I rung the ambliance, and we had the police helicopter overhead and fire and police and paramedics, and BBC TV were in the area anyway so they got film of the lad getting saved and us looking after him and ringing the emergency services, and I've been up since 0530 helping puch stranded cars out of the flood waters on our road which have now subsided.

Fucken knackered.
