Whilst our friends over the pond are basking in sun and warm temperatures, I have attached a couple of pictures taken from our training site in Stafford, Central UK, today Tuesday 26th June.
When enlarged you can see two blue buildings to the right. The first is the container that holds 9 training bikes from 50cc scooters, 125cc machines and 3 Suzuki 500's.
The other blue building is the office and classroom. Both are at the moment under 4 foot of flood water and it is still rising.

The second picture shows the driveway to the entrance to the site and it is unpassable unless you have a 4x4!

Okay, we are insured but it does not cover loss of business. I know of other companies here in the UK that are in the same boat (sorry about the pun!) but you can see what we are having to put up with in the UK at the moment.
On a good note, tomorrow Tuesday 27th, we are starting canoe classess and diving from the rooftops if anyone is interested in dropping in for a session, fun starts at 10am :)
We are now looking for a little ray of sunshine so that the river behind the training centre will subside and we can hopefully get back to some normality :mad:
This is what the area normally looks like!

But more rain is forecast :eek:
