“Agree with you capndave, the boats should have been moved from the area, so will RLM take responsibility if the river continues to rise and the boats become a serious hazard, from previous experience I somehow doubt it.”
Shame we haven't got a floating cafe to swim to, or some electric cables being stretched to breaking, ready to pump 240 volts into the river. Would have been perfectly safe to have a market with thousands of people, prams, bikes a toddlers don't you think? Mustn't forget those little electric boats.
Oh Yea I forgot this clause from a certain contract :-
1. Ensure the moorings are vacated prior to (and in anticipation of) periods of flood:
• when the moorings might become dangerous • undue pressure placed upon the Council's infra- structure or equipment • boats could become hazards to the bridges or other infra-structure.”

“Looks like the river has got some water in it.
Not even particularly high.
Never mind, it bears some resemblance to a news story.”
