I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.
Up north in Cumbria and Scotland a storm called Desmond caused the local rivers to burst their banks and flood the nearby towns and villages.
The places that were flooded have a history of flooding. Perhaps future house building in the area should be built on platforms that float or the houses should be on stilts so the flood water passes harmlessly under the building.
I am most grateful that my home has not been flooded.
Jacket potatoes taste better when they're roasted in the oven than in the microwave because the heat slowly roasts them from the outside...
