Is George Lee talking sense on the news for a change?
I was attempting to sell food defences to councils not too long ago. Very simple system, easily deployed, easily stored etc
Every council declined as they had annual contracts with sand suppliers and it would cost jobs (ie the lad on the sand and shovel).
In saying that, many of the public were equally exasperating. Iād be shown photos of their house looking like the hidden Atlantis. āCouncil couldnāt get to us with bags in time"etc. " oh, this will be perfect for you so, no need to rely on councilā. āAh no, cant see it happening againā
Thereās no figuring some.

I definitely would not run. I hate running in the rain, yet alone for 26.2 miles in it

Too far out to predict rain. The general pattern itself is for reasonably settled. Youāll have a better idea after the weekend.

Ha! No, but came across that Headbanger. Last I hear, he was doing projects in Mogadishu
Whatās the typical set up for a house ?
Few elements including sandless sandbag for the want of a better word. The Oldman patented some designs based off a material wed been using for years, nonwoven polypropylene, for our grocery bag program.
You get the equivalent of 20 sandbags in a cereal sized box. Store anywhere you want, there when needed. Water rises, just the drop the bag in the water and self-inflates off the water in 3 mins to weigh 22kgs. Can then place and shape like a normal sandbag or soak up excess water.
Had them in b&q, Homebase, load of smaller hardware stores. But not really a retail product and people only coming looking for it when their toes are in the water. No one does preparation in advance!
The Oldman got and remains sick and Iād grown tired of not being able to make the changes I thought needed to be made. Along came COVID, primary material masks and gown is also nwpp, so blew material costs 5 fold so laid it to rest. For a while anywayā¦
