Weston Super Saint Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 Having their houses flooded again, but forgetting to get the house insured.
equalizer Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7600998.stm Yeah flooding, it's hilarious! Are you for real? :confused:
Weston Super Saint Posted 6 September, 2008 Author Posted 6 September, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7600998.stm Yeah flooding, it's hilarious! Are you for real? :confused: They're Welsh. It's not like they had no warning is it? The bloody weather forecast has predicted nothing but heavy rain and flooding for over a week now. Doesn't take much to fill a few hessien bags with a bit of sand does it? Just because some tourists got over confident with their 4x4 doesn't garner my pity I'm afraid - what on earth were they doing driving around in those conditions in the first place?
saint_stevo Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 i'm now glad your pub is being sued, you deserve it

Fair point about the sandbags, BUT Have you considered that they may not be able to get insured due to their location? Let's all laugh at someone less fortunate that us. Not. Clever. At. All.

Let's all laugh at someone less fortunate that us. Not. Clever. At. All. Yeah. Tbf if I was an insurer I wouldn't insure anyone in Wales either.
Rattlehead Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 Have you considered that they may not be able to get insured due to their location? Why don't they move then? Thick tw*ts.
sotonianproud Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 Why don't they move then? Thick tw*ts. Possibly because they live in a house thats prone to flooding and is impossible to sell even at a knock down price.
Weston Super Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Author Posted 7 September, 2008 Possibly because they live in a house thats prone to flooding and is impossible to sell even at a knock down price. Probably a house that they bought at a knock down price due to that very fact..... If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 Possibly because they live in a house thats prone to flooding and is impossible to sell even at a knock down price. And the poor young mother who was on TV last night was in a council property. The council had assured her there wouldn't be flooding but, as the area had flooded in the past, she couldn't get contents insurance. She'd only just moved in - I felt so sorry for her. edit And, generally, you can't refuse a council property - if you do, they won't offer you another one. So you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

In her free house....
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 .... In her free house.... And you know that for a fact, do you?
Weston Super Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Author Posted 7 September, 2008 And you know that for a fact, do you? A young mother in a council house, hmmmmm, I wonder if it's free.....
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 A young mother in a council house, hmmmmm, I wonder if it's free..... Just be careful you don't stereotype Maybe, just maybe, her husband is in the Services (as a lot of Welshmen are) - or working away from home? Or maybe, just maybe, her partner has left her? It happens, you know.
mack rill Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 A young mother in a council house, hmmmmm, I wonder if it's free..... Weston the whole country is not full of Southampton girls!
Colinjb Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 This thread really is making me lose faith in human nature.
Thedelldays Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 This thread really is making me lose faith in human nature. I dont get it...it was Mother Nature that was the wrong'un
Colinjb Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 I dont get it...it was Mother Nature that was the wrong'un More the reactions to those that have been unfortunate due to nature. That is all.
Thedelldays Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 More the reactions to those that have been unfortunate due to nature. That is all. I think it is all been taken a bit tongue-in-cheek..... I doubt those would post such stuff on here if it directly effected southampton or someone they knew... chill....
Wiltshire Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 A young mother in a council house, hmmmmm, I wonder if it's free..... You really are going out of your way to appear a massive tw*t aren't you? Starting with your ill advised comments about those unfortunate enough to be flooded you then go on to display your stupidity with comments about people in council houses. There is a thread in the lounge, I think, about how the forum is going downhill.....that's all your fault fault that is.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 I think it is all been taken a bit tongue-in-cheek.....

Nimby springs to mind, along with Right Wing stereotyping.

Weston Super Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Author Posted 7 September, 2008 Just be careful you don't stereotype Maybe, just maybe, her husband is in the Services (as a lot of Welshmen are) - or working away from home? LOL then she would be housed by the forces..... Or maybe, just maybe, her partner has left her? It happens, you know. Then maybe, just maybe he should carry some of the blame then??
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 LOL then she would be housed by the forces..... Then maybe, just maybe he should carry some of the blame then?? Whatever sympathy I had for you yesterday about your impending law suit has just evaporated. You want us to feel some sympathy for your plight but you can't find it within yourself to feel sorrow for someone else's predicament. I'm alright Jack eh?
Weston Super Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Author Posted 7 September, 2008 Whatever sympathy I had for you yesterday about your impending law suit has just evaporated. You want us to feel some sympathy for your plight but you can't find it within yourself to feel sorrow for someone else's predicament. I'm alright Jack eh? I don't want or expect your sympathy. My post yesterday was trying to highlight the pitiful way in which our country is run these days, with lawsuits being raised willy nilly, mainly due to the fact that large companies aren't prepared to defend their legal rights, as it is cheaper to pay for an issue to go away. Perversely the actions of insurance companies not providing protection for these houses also highlights where this country is going. However the flip side of that is that anyone who bought their house in a flood zone - I know when I've bought houses numerous searches are carried out, and houses that are in flood plains are specifically brought to the purchaser's attention - don't really deserve any sympathy [iMHO], as it was their choice to pay the price for the house, and their choice to take the risk whether or not a flood would actually happen. To go on the National News bleating that your house has been flooded and that you have no insurance quite frankly isn't an injustice, but [iMHO] is just plain stupidity. With regards to the [alleged] council houses being built on a flood plain, then surely that is the responsibility of the council that built them, and once again bleating on the news about personal injustices just doesn't cut it with me. However if they wanted to take some action against the council for allegedly forcing them to live in that house, then they would get my support. If the council built the house and knew that insurance companies wouldn't insure it, then the council should cover the insurance costs [iMHO]. And yes, I am alright Jack. I looked at one house which was a real steal, until I realised it was built on a flood plain. That is when I decided not to buy it, and bought another house somewhere else. My house didn't get flooded.
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 And my point was a simple one - you have no idea what that young mother's circumstances were and yet you choose to pass judgement.
Toomer Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 Why don't they move then? Thick tw*ts. Would you buy a house that was at risk of flooding.
Weston Super Saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Author Posted 7 September, 2008 Would you buy a house that was at risk of flooding. Nope. You?
team-saint Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 why can't everyone just be nice to each other
bridge too far Posted 7 September, 2008 Posted 7 September, 2008 All the welsh should be drowned. Isn't that a racist post?
