The vicar at the bottom of our St bought a boat last week; do you think he had some inside information.

This wouldn't be about the huge chunk of La Palma that is likely to drop into the sea creating one giant superwave would it?

The governments of the world are ignoring the problem *coughdayaftertomorrowcough* so we aren't prepared against the 20m high waves this country will get even though we're 3500 miles away?

20m is nothing, by the time it reaches here it will be higher.

Aint much you can do, apart from be glad we live about as far inland as it is possible to get in the UK.

I'm hoping we will be OK up at High Storrs. On a nice little island a quarter of a mile across, maybe. 'Till the supplies run out...
