The Great Flood

Yesterday's entertainment at work was provided by a flood in the road outside the office. Apparently monitoring a flood takes three people in hi-vis jackets the entire day to stand next to it, occasionally ineffectively flapping their arms at each other. They set up a road block at the turning onto the main road, but then didn't actually stop anyone from driving through it (was deep enough to be a problem for the smaller cars at least). Perhaps they were just checking to see if anyone happened to have a really big sponge on them.
