I'm not proud, so here's my starter for 10.
A pal of mine in Worcester, and his entire road, were flooded a number of years ago, after the local tributary burst it's banks in a storm - it was evening before I got to him, and all the power had been cut off, meaning darkness.
The situation was drastic enough that the local fire brigade were in the road, providing emergency assistance.
One of the methods of getting the water away from inside the houses was to lever up some floorboards for instant drainage - a bit like pulling a plug out.
This was a sight to behold - a foot of water, and a bunch of firemen attacking my pal's floor with crowbars and a saw.
So unusual, that, for future reference, just as they bent over, bashed in the crowbar and prised a board in the middle of the lounge floor, I decided to take a polaroid photo of the gathered ensemble - complete with built in flash of course .
Did they jump - you bet.
Did they bollock me - you bet .
Let's hear yours guys - don't be shy .
I do recall photos on here of an MB van with a wheel in a drain...
