I thought I would let people on the list know how some buisnesses are coping in the midlands (England) where the floods have been or still are. My daughter lives in Worcester, the company she works for has had no water since the floods. The management have bought water for the staff, they have hired portable toilets for the men. The women if they live where they have water, they take empty plastic bottles home and fill them up to take to work the next day so they can flush the women's toilets, plus wash their hands.
Where I live in Berkshire, we had floods before the midlands last Friday week, we had some of our grandson's friends sleeping in our house that night as they could not get home, some live in small villages, one lived in our town, yet could not get home, there was only one road passable out of town, no public transport such as buses or trains, even our train station was flooded. The entrance to our road was flooded, so we stayed home for the next 48 hours. We were lucky we had electricity and water. Our daughter has a house where the garden goes down to the Kennet & Avon Canal, it was 1 inch from over flowing, her house would have flooded as the canal is three feet higher than her garden. Our prayers were answered, we were lucky. Jean in Berkshire, where we are hoping there will be no more floods, not only here but the rest of England and Wales.
