I've just got back from Bristol,bought a few packs of bottled water-no problems down there

I've got work in Tewkesbury tomorrow but not sure what's going on at the moment.

My girlfriend works in Tescos in Cheltenham,her boss just phoned and said they will be shutting for at least 2 days

RE: Fights in supermarket - It's amazing and slightly worrying how quickly behaviour and society breaks down when there is a small(ish) problem like this, there would be anarchy within a few days if we ever faced a big disaster accross the country!

Wait til everyone has a bath tonight.

Water everywhere but none in the pipes.
If it wasn't so serious it would be comical..

That's where I work mate !

You can still get there from the motorway but they will have no water supply and maybe no power soon

Where do you work ?

Going to be a rough few days by the sounds of it, hope everyone has plenty of candles!

I am a little confused though...I can understand electric going off, but why are they turning off the water supply?

The water treatment works that supplies most of Gloucestershire got flooded so badly last night that they had to shut the plant down and evacuate the staff !
