Ah are we not forgetting something here ? who builds houses on natural flood plains ? Does logic not tell you that water always finds it's own level ?

Before any of you go bashing the government or local agencies, try having a go at those foolish enough to set up home inches below sea level.

I happen to think local agencies and government did a lot more than was expected of them. If someone sails in the wind of danger we can't be held responsible if they get into trouble.

Ask yourself this before you go sounding off, would you build a house below sea level a few yards from a coast line ? Exactly. Thank you.
