Ah, understood. Why should I help foot the bill for extra police
security in our cities when I was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to
the proposal to bomb Syria?

I suppose you're saying that it was stupid of people to live in
Carlisle. It's a big city and a lot of people live there, and the flood
risk is rather unpredictable from year to year. But ideally, everyone
would buy a house on a hill, wherever they happen to live.

Most people are insured. But there is a large cost to be borne in
repairing public areas. Perhaps in Victorian times a rich mill owner
would step up to the plate and pay for it, or there would be a
charitable foundation and you'd have to make a decision when the
collector came to your front door.

I agree with Tough Guy. Avoiding flood plains is only common sense when
buying a house. I checked before moving home.
Moving into a flood area is not very sensible.

Yes. Pity there is **** all in the way of jobs for anyone

to stay there instead of moving to where there are a
few jobs in that area. **** all jobs tho.

He's just another example of someone who gets a
degree in what interests them without considering
what qualifications would get him a job.

He claims he is self employed now. Clearly
he wasted the time and effort and cost on
that degree which is useless for he does now.

Separate matter to what is being discussed,
whether the govt hands out millions/billions
to those in his circumstances.

Not when the govt is stupid enough to allow house to be built there.

Ok, but why choose an area that is capable of being flooded when there's
plenty of houses that aren't in flood plains.
To me it is stupidity to take the risk.

A house which was mostly very appealing is officially just in Flood Zone 2:

"Flood Zone 2 €“ Medium Probability

Definition

This zone comprises land assessed as having between a 1 in 100 and 1 in
1,000 annual probability of river flooding (1% €“ 0.1%), or between a 1
in 200 and 1 in 1,000 annual probability of sea flooding (0.5% €“ 0.1%)
in any year."

Even in the worst of the floods of recent years, this particular
location and its immediate surroundings was not flooded. And showed very
little likelihood of ever being flooded. So on a personal evaluation, I
reckon it is safe. But if the insurers don't agree, it could be very
expensive to insure.

Fine - very unpleasant for them. But the house I wrote about has never

Carlisle isn't a "big" city, I can tolerate going there with ease so
it ain't big. Leeds is about the size limit, Manchester I always get
lost in, Haven't been to Birmingham for decades, as for London no
chance unless I have no option.

It might be big in area but it it is not highly populated.

Biggest city by area in the UK at 400 square miles but with a
population of just under 110,000. But that is really the district of
the City of Carlisle rather than what most people would consider to
be Carlisle City.

"Carlisle City", the urban bit has about 75,000 population and a
guesstimated area of 10 square miles. More a run of the mill town
than a "big city". B-)

Been trying to find out how much they raised the defences since the
last floods in 2005, that held in 2009. What ever it was they were
easily over topped this time. The Eden in Carlisle (Sheepmont) rose
to 7.23 m, the previous highest level was 5.81 m (in 2009). That's
1.42 m (4'8") higher. That's a 24% increase in the record... At
Linstock 5.02 m v 4.26 m (2009 again) 18% increase.

This zone comprises land assessed as having between a 1 in 100 and 1 in
1,000 annual probability of river flooding (1% - 0.1%), or between a 1
in 200 and 1 in 1,000 annual probability of sea flooding (0.5% - 0.1%)
in any year."

Even in the worst of the floods of recent years, this particular
location and its immediate surroundings was not flooded. And showed very
little likelihood of ever being flooded. So on a personal evaluation, I
reckon it is safe. But if the insurers don't agree, it could be very
expensive to insure.

There are (DIY) things that can be done to mitigate the problem.

You don't have to be on a flood plain to get flooded out either.

A lot of people are too idle/stupid to take precautions.

Mitigation seems unlikely to persuade an insurance company that the risk
is very, very low. Especially if done DIY.

Moving into a flood area is not very sensible.

A house which was mostly very appealing is officially just in Flood Zone 2:

Indeed.

For many of them this is their second flood in ten years, for many
others it was their 4th time. I just heard those facts on the 10 oclock
news.

Fine - very unpleasant for them. But the house I wrote about has never
been flooded. But the insurance side might be making it an impossible
purchase. (Although we had decided against on other grounds.)


Like I said in a previous post, it pays to check a few insurance
companies for the area that you're interested in house buying.

Don't worry, you won't be asked to foot the bill. Now you don't need to
worry about spending all that money on Christmas presents.

All taxpayers foot the bill, even though they don't get flooded.


Ah, understood. Why should I help foot the bill for extra police
security in our cities when I was firmly opposed to the Iraq war and to
the proposal to bomb Syria?


Why should I foot the bill for primary education when I don't have children?

Because that's the way it works.

The government is paying millions to "victims" of flood.

They pay millions to those like you who were too stupid
to work out what qualifications would get you a job too.

did you know that he has got a degree?

Pharmacology and needlework?

Physics and Digital Microelectronics.

So why do you ask such stupid questions?

That's the ear to ear dog ****, stupid.

Further proof that education, intelligence
and common sense are unrelated.

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

Yes, and especially so just now, rain almost every day for 2 months. The
tail end of three hurricanes. I guess somewhere like America is getting
blown to bits.

Less than normal rain here in W. Midlands.

Rain varys, stupid.

The Welsh get all our rain.

Then kick them out of the country too, bigot boy.
