Not sure football would be too bad in the wet, as a person who lives in Halifax we have people complaining they can't play golf when many people still not back in their homes after the Boxing Day floods

Here in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, it will be many months before normal service will be resumed. Our local playing fields may never recover from the boxing day floods and there was 170 dwellings flooded/evacuated as well as 45 business premises washed out. Albufiera has done very well to recover and I am sure the spirit in both communities is comparable - what a shame that there is a minority that moans they cannot enjoy themselves after such devastation. I am looking forward to returning on Feb 11 to see how things have gone down town and see all my friends there.

We were lucky here as it was 'only' business premises that were directly affected. Few if any people live on the ground floor of the buildings in the lower part of the old town. Although a lot in the upper floors did lose electricity and water for a day or three, no homes were flooded.

I spotted yesterday that some work is taking place inside the popular tourist spot in the square called Bank. They wouldn't be open at this time of year anyway. They are also advertising for staff.

Some people are going to have to accept that the place they live in may no longer be habitable if these huge storms are going to be regular occurrences. Even as I write I am listening to news of yet another storm battering parts of the UK.

Various large holes dug round The Square for some reason. Beware if walking or stumbling past at night, there is only thin warning tape to stop you falling in.
