Every-one is panic buying water which is just HILARIOUS! There was a mention of a single pumping station in Glos being out of order and diversions from other stations are being made. Severn Trent asked people in certain households to be careful about how much water they used. There is now queing in the supermarkets all over the county like Christmas and and Sainsbury have limited purchasing of bottled water to 12 litres.I just bought wine :- "

I panic bought water :b but I was a bit late and we've filled containers up incase.

I heard it was the treatment plant in Tewkesbury that had got flooded and supply was limited until wednesday. But I hope your right Jo :thumbsup:

It does seem Glos and Tewkesbury will be affected and will run out in 1-2 hours, but they will provide bottled water and large portable containers. I'll give you a bucket full Lou :thumbsup:

That pumping station will effect those living in the Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and Gloucester areas + villages. There are now 150,000 homes in Gloucestershire without running water and more will follow. This is expected to last for 72 hours+. I expect one of those is my mother who is 76 years old and who depends on having an oxygen machine which runs off the electricity supply. A supply that as of this moment people are desperately trying to prevent from flooding. If it floods then 500,000 people will be without electricity. 450 homes in Tewkesbury and 150 in Gloucester as of this moment have no electricity.

So I guess that my mum and the other elderly and vulnerable people like her could just buy wine but she doesn't drink alcohol. She like plenty of others are just trying to keep going quietly in their own homes with dignity and independence.

I do hope everything turns out alright for your mum, & others like her Barbara :luck: We have seen the pic's on tv, & for once i am glad we live up North :wacko: I can't believe i said that :- "

So many lives turned up side down I hope the waters withdraw very soon & no more rain :sweating:
