The water's been super high in the Bristol channel lately and even higher with the opening of the SEvern bore, plus all the rain. Everything seems under threat of flood - there's more water I've seen in a month than in Australia - well - all my life. No suprise there are signs everywhere in Bristol that warn 'mate, don't jump in, you ain't coming out' or something of the like. If you go missing around here, it's likely you've fallen in the river at 3 am. And you guys reckon Australia is dangerous.
I have read that the rivers down there are more poo than water now. That would defo be a mare to fall into! It had been very very wet these last couple of years. More so up here I think. It's bloody shite!
