Steve, for some reason I'm told that your post requires me to install the
Chinese Traditional language pack to display it correctly. Something odd
about the encoding you've used?

The quote messed with the charset, the rtf version displayed in very odd
fonts.

I think the quote is just wrong. The road is particularly low at this point
as there is a draw dock there (a slope down to the river to enable boats to
be launched), but I doubt very much if it's flooded often in the week or so
centred on the neap tides (roughly at the quarter phases of the Moon).

Does it flood over, or out of the drains? I'm not familiar with the north
side. The two areas I've seen flood loads of times, at richmond front and
the Brewary Tap in brentford (oops trapped in the pub again!), they both
flood out of the drains a long time before the water comes over the bank.
Of course they always flood at high neap tides, unless the barrier is
raised.
