Yorkshire Bitter

The Environment Agency says there is a massive tidal surge along the East Coast, from North Yorkshire all the way down to Kent, warning of “extreme danger to life and property”.

It’s looking like our neck of the woods is going to be OK (I bloody hope so anyway, as I don’t have any sandbags) but Whitby, Bridlington and the surrounding coast are looking dodgy.

Thank you, John Grogan and everyone else who campaigned for the improved Barlby flood defences. Fingers crossed for everyone else.
