    Those who dont learn from the past are doomed to repeat It.

    Very glad there seem to be no fatalities; one could not have guessed such would be the case judging by the news reports and footage.

    Your lack of concern for global warming indicates you are pond scum.

    That makes two of us; maybe three, if we can count on Biggles, but where was he when I needed him last Saturday?

    Tending to his gruntle, probably.

    JP may now be worried that it has now hit his neck of the woods. A road was swept away by a landslide, caused by heavy rain, in Scotland yesterday. Again. luckily, there were no serious caualties.

    It is the county of Cornwall in south west England, Keikan. The place it happened was a small village there called Bocastle.

    Stangely, a few miles further up the coast, 52 years to the day, exactly the same thing happened to the town of Lynmouth.
