Failed crops resulting in massive price rises for foods. And huge insurance hikes! Mmmmm looking forward to that!

There won't be a hosepipe ban this year.

Flooding in an oil field

Kenyan fine beans, Spanish strawberries , Cyprus potatoes

It's not like we don't import shit already

I'd rather have to cope with a bit of water than have the Ebola virus...

Most of our wheat comes from North America, British flour isn't white enough to make bread

Are you sure there wont be a hose pipe ban ?

My bet is there will be one, as there was in similar years we had a large rainfall.

We are due a very hot summer apparently and all the water lying around at present cannot be stored.

Hurricane winds are the worse than flooding in my opinion, at least with floods we get a bit of warning and out houses remain standing where they were built. We can use boats and helicopters to get to people who need help however in hurricane winds there isnt much any body can do untill its all died down.

I would like if the uk flooded and we all had to evacuate, the only country with room for us all would the be oz!

The bill you receive when you call people in to sort out the damage,

Even worse the bill you receive after you called in a cowboy to sort it out on the cheap and then Have to pay a reputable firm to rectify the damage lol
