"I've spoken to a newsagent who told me he's lost thousands worth of products because he had a large box of cigarettes on the floor...."

When I read that I was thinking I know cigs aren't cheap but just how much are a box of cigs nowadays?

Came across the Herne Hill reservoir this morning, small detour was all. Lots of sandy mud spread out also.

Yes it was wet.

One local resident, Fran Graham, also tweeted: "Woke up to biblical scenes today, water level is dropping so hopefully I can get out of my flat soon."

I didn't see an ark in any of the pics. Knee deep is hardly biblical. Woman needs to get a grip.

"A member of staff at the Fruit Garden greengrocers said the water was "knee-deep" and equipment had been damaged."

Equipment at knee height, in a green grocers.

That'll be table legs then...

I was only looking at the Ouse today, and thinking it's ages since it was out of its banks. All the residents of Tower Place are moved back in now, so we must be due an innundation next week.

Heard some bod from British Olympic swimming on the radio this morning, apparently they've been training in the wrong kind of water, wonder if it wasn't wet enough.
