Have they? Articles (Telegraph, BBC, Guardian etc) i've read state the local councils are trying to get the military involved rather than the military has got involved

They shown the military deploying sandbags along the Thames so only based it on this?

Brave? I'd say stupid.

Or are you saying he is braver than Steve?

Perhaps he's moving it to save the car from being potentially even more fucked.

I highly doubt he's doing a 0-60 sprint through that puddle, so not stupid at all.

That doesn't look deep? Or is it deep for the south of England?

It touches the alloy wheel rim so in Southern England that is deep.

You only need to have a quick look at the Environment Agency Flood Map to see where it's not a good idea to live. This information has been available for years

If you look at that on a topographical map, you can clearly see the natural floodplain.

So although not just a puddle, still very clear it would happen.

Can't understand why people would really risk their lives by going surfing in conditions like we're seeing on TV!
