A bloke on the way to us for an interview was riding down the Purley Way through floodwater on his motorbike. What he didn't realise was that the water had raised a manhole cover and his front wheel disappeared into it, he was thrown headfirst into the water, his helmet filled with water and he couldn't breathe! Fortunately a passing motorist was able to help and he spent a night in A&E after having been pumped full of penicilin and tetnus etc!

We let him have the interview when he was out...

Would have been wiser to stop if possible before driving into the great fountain of water.
