In the case of the business in the opening post the guy has had a sub floor built 4 ft off the original floor to combat the flooding from the past 30 years. He did this as he couldn't sell the building due to recent flooding even though 100 years ago there were no records of flooding in the...

No offence and while your comment has merit many of these places aren't flood plains.... you'd laugh at your own comment if you saw some of the properties that have flooded in Lancs and Yorks this time. No one is saying the authorities should be able to prevent all of these floods, but they...

Yes, but you should know that having direct experience of something in the real world is no substitute for forum expert opinion. :D

If anyone here is affected by the floods then I hope you are getting all the help you need and I wish you good luck! Just spoken to a friend of mine with a business in East Lancs who was asking the authorities for sandbags and a pump for the last three day, but was told he wouldn't need...

I know, it's daft isn't it. My comment wasn't serious btw just in case you missed the winky. Get well soon :thumb:

I hope you didn't burden A&E unnecessarily;) Despite 1.7m employees and a budget in excess of most small countries' GDP the government can't organise the NHS well enough that they don't have to appeal for people not to use A&E unless absolutely necessary! Get well soon :thumb:

Yes fair comment, but I stopped worrying about the image of a brand a while back... let's face it I would never have bought a Merc having read this forum if I was worried about image ;) :D Love the X350 XJs and the later XKRs, the latter of which will be my next car I suspect.

Other way round, diesel floats on water so is pumped from the top with, put very simply, several separator devices in place to prevent water being pumped with the fuel.

Water is present in most fuel storage tanks for a variety of reasons (condensation being the least of them), but as it separates from the fuel the tank extraction systems are designed for this inevitibility!

:D The lament of many an R230 owner - doubt there's many crazy enough to have more than one :D I'd have another Merc as it's a case of never say never, but they are not as good as the image the brand seems to have in the psyche of most. In my experience of 2 Mercs and 2 Jags the Jags were...

I can't help it, some of you are just so inferior. You do rise to the bait tremendously well though. ;) Seriously though the irony of your superior comment is lost on you isn't it? Well perhaps if I do as you request some of you could see yourselves clear to being less self righteous, holier...

Well there's so few of them in the country ;)

It was only a matter of time :D

You should probably try and ease up on the thinking, it's not your strong point!

Yes we established that on post 44, do try and keep up :D After being repeatedly accused I decided I may as well get stuck in ;)

Cheers, all a bit of Xmas baiting 'fun' that some can't handle it seems! Have a good one :thumb:

So you've not accepted you've been had yet then? :fail

I know, I was being deliberately facetious... although on second thoughts maybe it was aimed at my 'turd' ;) :D

No worries, what will be will be! It was fun though :D
