You call that a flood ...?

That was a comment from Geoff Blakesley in response to my post yesterday (Yorkshire Water take note). Well, fair point, Geoff, except that I didn't call it a flood. I'd probably call it a big puddle. I was using "flood" as a verb, to describe the movement of water from where it should be, in this case in an underground drain, to where it shouldn't, i.e. the surface of the road. But "big-puddling" is pretty rubbish as a verb. And I was using "rubbish" as an adjective, which is incorrect but enjoyable.

I'll see if I can get some pictures of real floods later today.
