You probably got out before the plod decided to block and mess up all the little side roads and cut through that local people know in order to avoid the problem.
At least I can rest happy knowing that the stupid copper standing on the A23/A205 junction watching all the traffic blocking the box junction and doing nothing is getting soaked doing so now.

No, water was only restored at 9:30 so I left shortly after that.
You fucking amateur ^
Should have stopped, had a leisurely fry-up , read the paper from cover to cover and arrived late with a well publicised excuse.

Yeah, thanks
Are things okay by the Hoot?
Yup. Went through on a diverted bus, was fine.

So anyone there now? Is it still as bad?
Cheers, was fine at 7am but rain is heavy and stuff.

I believe the Red Cross are setting up refugee camps as we speak, and apparently Bono is planning some sort of benefit gig.

Jesus, it looks like the Olympic canoeing course. With bus stops!

It's the squirrels I'm worried about. What if all that water has washed off their stashes of crack?

merde alors
They've done a pretty good job of re-routing water supplies, but they can't start fixing the burst main until British Gas repair the damage it did to a nearby gas main. Relying on TWO utility subcontractors! Yays!

That's a relief - I bet all the local shops have run out of bottled water hours ago. I assume that, apart from in the immediate vicinity of the problem, there are/were no problems with gas?
Otherwise I'm not entirely looking forward to trying to cook dinner in a microwave tonight.

Expressing an opinion regarding a valid dissatisfaction is not "moaning".
Can't afford a takeaway tonight. I'm sure I can scrape a meal together somehow from what I have - at the very least there's a kettle full of water ready to boil and I have a Vesta curry in my "emergency stuff in case of zombie invasion" cupboard.

The most important thing about anything that happens in Brixton or South London is the inconvenience caused to ajdown, especially to his commute. Did you not know this?
