Sheffield Floods

Hi Guys,

Some of you may be interested in seeing a PlusNet perspective of the adverse weather conditions over here.

You'll need to register, but I thought it might be of interest to some of you!

Have any of you drowned?

Not yet. Apparently a local dam is on its last legs which could result in further disaster to that of which has already been seen.

Good. Now get back to work answering the questions regarding your spam leak and stop faffing around with Polish and pictures of floods.

I think that ensuring that the phones and tickets being answered are a slightly higher priority at this moment in time with a skelleon staffing level.

Ouch, not looking good.

I'd imagine there will be a few drenched copper wires around!

Phil Richardson seems to be going above and beyond the call of duty though...

"This has resulted in me servicing customers from home."

Seriously though, hope that things dry out and everyone's insurance companies play fair for any damage caused!

We've actually got a bunch of staff working from home on tickets today, because they haven't been able to get in.

Some internal quotes.

All South Yorks trains are cancelled.

Rotherham and Meadowhall Interchanges are both closed so no buses, apparently there are some Sheffield services, but not many.

It's not so much the floods in Sheffield that's the problem, the routes into Sheffield are all grid locked, with junctions 32 - 34 being closed off and flodds in Renishaw, Killamarsh and Fence these routes are heavy.

I think you missed what my smutty mind saw in Phil's quote

Where I am the weather isn't too bad but on Sunday I was out in it for about 6 hours, got stuck in traffic jams due to flooding, etc. But things seem to be much worse up your way, particularly in the Sheffield area. I've also just read about the Dam on the BBC.

Lets hope there aren't any more serious injuries or worse and that you can get back to 'normal' as soon as possible.

Hehe, sorry, was being a little slow!

That would be an excuse if Sheffield had been underwater since May 4th. Sadly, it hasn't been. Get on with it
