The electrics just gone back on after 29 1/2 hours due to the flooding in Carlisle. This event has amazed me, mostly the amount of water that came down the three rivers in the city. I was one of the lucky ones, about 6000 others were not so lucky, deluged with water. The main roundabout in the centre of the city was under about 7` of water, taking out the police station, fire station and countless other properties. The main substation was under water and could not be repaired untill the water subsided. Most of the city is covered in up to 3" of sticky mud, which will take ages to clear away. Anyway, two things I will have to think about now are:- Should I buy a Lister Generator set, then I will have power and a show engine ??? Should I buy a cow, then I`d have milk for me coffee !!!

like to point out that Hardwicke Circus is a three lane roundabout with a hollow centre about 10 foot deep (where the statue is and the fountain you cannot see !!!
