I'm just trying to see how the angle-grinder aspect fits, but I'm sure it's
in there somewhere.


They could do with some of them oop north - isn't there another main
road bridge about to get washed away (with or without plod on it )

I'm amazed that they didn't look closer at these bridges before - it's not
like flooding has never happened here before ... my sister's house in
Cockermouth was flooded a few years ago and they were worried about the
bridges then. Luckily for her, she's moved away since and lives half-way up
a large hill!

How can you look at the foundations?

They are underground and under water.

That's what's gone. The river has undermined them.

Worst recorded rainfall ever apparently.
