As the old nursery rhyme goes … “Rain, Rain, Go Away, please come back another day”. And yesterday it rained torrentially all day – big heavy drops like a wall. According to rte 3″ of rain fell in 24 hours; Flash floods everywhere: Port tunnel closed, M50 flooded to several feet in some places, N3 three feet deep. Amazing since it’s August. Meant of course that we were unable to travel to an 70th birthday party back in my home town of Navan.

When wiill the politicians realize that there is such a thing as global warming.
