Doesn't it rain enough already ?Looks as though the British government had becomed tired with Englands beautiful year round weather and thought its citizens would be happier if it rained a tad more. Unfortunately they over did it a bit and thirty five people died in the floods that ensued...

From the article: "Mum identified her by this huge wart on her back because she hadn't got no head, or arms, or legs when they found her".

I know I'm a bad person because I imagined this line being delivered by Edward in an episode of The League of Gentlemen and then laughed out loud.
