Flash floods strike Poynton, Disley and Stockport - BBC News
Bloody awful place, Stockport.
I used to ride through on my motorbike headed for Leicester, it was always raining in Stockport. One time I went over what then was a hump-back over the railway and some peasant council crew had surfaced the crown temporarily with bare steel.
Stockport deserves everything it gets.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

Strange sense of humour you have.

On the contrary I've never quite understood how I survived that encounter and I've blamed Stockport's damnable council employees ever since for complaisant endangerment.
Mid-December it was. Bare steel - a guaranteed grip-free surface - on an A-road in the rain, on the top of a hump-back bridge, and not so much as a speed restriction or a warning sign. I've rarely come closer to obvious instant death through careless working practice.

Must be worth a nuclear bomb at least.

That must have happened centuries ago ! I'm sure the men responsible for that ridiculous activity have long retired and made way for more sensible workers. Why you have to be vindictive towards a whole town because of one incident is beyond me. It surprises me that you appear not to have done anything about that incident at the time !

I'm a Saga-lout, growing old disgracefully

For all I care the whole town can sink beneath the waves like Atlantis. It left me rattled, and I'm not often rattled.

Interestingly enough I've tried - it is next to impossible.
I had a similar incident in Leicester and tried, firstly to get the road made safe and secondly to get compensation for the resultant damage to my bike. The Councils maintain a complete legal department to handle such incidents and they're damn'd if some snotty nose kid (and, worse still, a biker at that) is going to get one over on them.
Unless you can afford to hire a legal team of your own, and a good one at that, then forget it.
