One of our friends, who's house was nearly but not quite flooded during the
great Chertsey floods recently has just told me a story that any Kate-ism I
could ever come up with...
A local man was wearing those great big waterproof waders that fishermen
wear - you know the sort than come up to your chest - and walking happily
through the floodwaters. The water was coming near to the top of his waders
but nothing too serious. He then must of stepped down off a pavement into a
road or pothole, because suddenly the water was higher than his waders and
filling them up fast. The weight of the water now inside his waders meant he
could no longer move and had to be rescued by firemen!!
