Just to answer the query about flooding



http://www.lewes.gov.uk/community/10121.asp



http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/147053.aspx?type=Fwacode&term=065WAF443&postcode=BN86LL

Reassurance - the two links show no immediate risk of flooding to Charleston 
or Monk's House. The most authoritative listing is the Environment agency's 
and is updated frequently.

But, as you probably know, Cornwall is cut off by rail (St. Ives no 
immediate risk of flooding). A major part of Somerset is flooded:

As is part of the Thames west of London.

The worst floods since 1766 we've been told - it's now de rigueur for news 
people to tell us this while standing in several feet of sewaged water.

And it's pouring down today.
