Thanks for the link Snazy, I'll certainly be making use of it!

Derby Hill Crescent got quite bad. For the second send time in as many months we had what I can only describe as a torrent of water flooding down our front drive - this time building up to a height of ~40cm up the front door, and inevitably into the house. Spent most of the evening mopping up floors and pumping out the basement

Still, in comparison to the guy who needed rescuing, I consider myself getting off lightly.
