well here it's raining, most rain for 100 years
got that from an old cloud I met
The sea has cut the trainline between England and Cornwall in the south of
Devon - came in and took road and track bed away but left the rails
The train co said they werent going to hire coaches to bridge the cap
because the roads are blocked
I checked and while some roads are blocked there is still a variety of
ways into and out of Cornwall
Lying - a major skill of the privatised sector
