I see floods all over the news.

I told you it was a soggy little island.

http://www.ga.gov.au/flood-study-web/#/search

Oz is no less soggy

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage, bigot
boy.

UK:
"Average flood damage costs are currently £1.1 billion per year"
http://www.parliament.uk/topics/Flooding.htm

AUS:
"It was estimated that the cost of cleanup and recovery would amount
to
approximately $5.6 billion (Australian)"
http://www.britannica.com/event/Aust...s-of-2010-2011

Apples and oranges, stupid. The last one isn't PER YEAR, it's the most
dramatic recent event.

It's the only figures of cost I could find,

And you were so stupid that you didn't even notice that
it was useless on the point you failed so dismally to make.


It gives a vague idea that both countries have flooding which costs a lot
of money.


Not with that one of ours you mindlessly waved around.


I said VAGUE.

Yes, we have a lot more flooding than you lot do, particularly
in the tropics with 'the wet' that sees quite a few places
completely inaccessible by road for a substantial part of
every year, but that isnt where most of us choose to live.


You got more space so more choice. Our country is packed full of immigrunts.

but they show that Aus is similar.


Like hell they do on the average flood damage costs per year.


If you can find better ones, do so.


YOU ran that stupid line.

YOU get to find better ones.

THAT'S how it works.


No, you get to prove me wrong. Get on wiv it.
