It may also be the less dramatic cases - for example, I think there was 
quite a reasonable amount of flooding from the GU in Warwick in Easter 
1998 (?) when the systems couldn't cope with what was coming downhill in 
the Hatton area. Often bits like that have minor drains / feeders which 
come in and assume the weirs will take away the excess: they're now 
dealing with more unpredictable rain than when they were built and have 
more building round them.
