Flood Warning?

This morning's post comprised the usual mix of things for previous occupiers (yes, 16 months here and we're still getting them) together with a rather strange official missive from the Environment Agency.

We have determined, it said, that your home is at risk of flooding, so you have to fill in this prepaid reply form and let us know which ways you want to be contacted to warn you of an impending flood.

Blimmin' 'eck!!

Funny thing is though, when we were looking for a new property, we made a point of looking on their website at the flood prediction map, and it seemed pretty clear that our part of Manchester was not at risk. So either that global warming thingy is much more rampant than we realised, or someone in government is just playing it safe.

It'll be just our luck if this puts up the insurance premiums. Bah!
