TOG@toil,chateau.murray@btinternet.com,

Ma has just received her buildings insurance renewal, and phoned up to
pay it. There was apparently a steep increase from last year.

"That's because you live on a flood plain," said the girl at MegaBucks
Insco.

Loud spluttering noise from Ma. "Do you know Rye?" she inquired
politely.

"Oh yes, lovely place...." agreed girl, happily.

"It's built on a hill, isn't it?"

"Yes....."

"Well, you know that bit, right at the top, by the church and the Gun
Garden?"

"Yes...."

"That's where I live. On the Citadel. If I'm flooded, then the whole
of the British Isles is going to be submerged."

Cue one readjusted premium. Made oi grin.

I don't know. I think you might be able to claim that the whole of
Cambridge is on the top of a big hill.

Well, apart from the bits that are higher than the topmost part of
Rye, I suppose.

It raises an interesting thought: that if there's really serious
flooding, then we have *more* British Isles.

I think Tewkesbury should declare independence, myself, and this is
also a God-given opportunity to get shot of the Taffs.

Like the hills. And the mountains..

And Wales.

If I remember correctly parts of Wiltshire are quite high above sea
level as well - I wonder if there is an online place where I can
search?

Hmm, I might have to change my plans to name the house "Seaview

<dubious>
Even at +14m Newark is dry - but the Trent is tidal to within a mile or
so of the town, and the weir at Cromwell is less than a 1m drop at high
tide.

Are we sure that the merkins haven't converted feet to meters just by
changing the letter?

Cool site.

At 10m and 11m we're still dry .. well, waters edge, indeed we'd be out on a
promontary, jutting out into a shallow sea..

At 13m and 14m we're completely underwater to the East, but it's dry only a
half mile away to the West.

So we won't be getting _too_ worried until it gets to ~7m.

I shall sleep better tonight, knowing that ...

Look in the [about] link, where it discusses accuracy - the NASA
satellites are only accurate to within 16m - even a bunch of trees make
it think ground level is higher than it is.

At 14m, I can ride for a good hour in any direction and not even get my

Handy and somewhat "not right". I'm ok up to 14M and I currently live
about 700yds from the beach.

I thought the whole thing was nonsense - even at 14m, I struggled to

Zoom in on central london, and bear in mind that 14m is only a bit over
the first contour line on any map. We do live on quite a hilly island.

For double-chuckles, steer over the channel and look what happened to
the Netherlands.

Seriously, from a 'zoomed out' view, the vast majority of the uk is

Um? 10 year old ERS2's SAR had (or still has?) a topography resolution
of 3m and a bathography (or is it bathymetry?) of 0.3m (or it could be
the other way around).

And as for its reaction to trees, running C band radar it can see to the
bottom of the oceans so:

Trees what trees?

All from memory from being at it's launch from Kourou, can't be arsed to
look it up.

I was trying to be sarcastic.

Temporarily????

It wasn't too crowded when we went in March.

There's the Picasso museum, the Alcazaba and there's a decent beach.
It's a nice Spanish town (IMO) esp. when you wander off to the bits
which most of the tourists don't bother with.

The market near where we were based (the nearest beer shop) had a small
side street where the smell was indescribable. All the market traders
used it despite the fact that they had perfectly usable public toilets
in the market square.

Still - we only needed to go there when we ran out of beer or wine so
it wasn't too bad.

You make a will before having a shave?
