I heard about the bloke who was trying to help a neighbour clear a drain out, he got his foot stuck and ended up drowning

Though i'm sure all this excess water is from all the sheff wednesday fans pissing themselves

It's fucking sodden up here too, up to 3 foot of water on the fields on my home tonight, was ridiculous.

cutting his foot off is a bit drastic, i'd have broken it a bit to see if it would wiggle through first, but that would have been after the first 10 minutes

sad sad sad way to go, can't imagine what the peole watching feel like now

They couldn't get to his foot apparently as he was under 4 feet of sludgy water and sewage.

As if they hadnt fucking thought of stuff like that.

Im sure the emergency services did everything they could.

Do people think they just spent 3 hours making cups of tea and going "ah well, looks like he is going to drown"
