We are very lucky where we live, we are I am told in one of the highest parts of Brum.
When I lived in the flats just up the road (now demolished) you could see over Birmingham Airport.

Where we are it's one of the highest part's of telford ,if we flooded the rest of telford would be totally under water.

I remember the 63 winter, walking to school almost crying because our feet were so cold. The school was even colder. If it happened today they would shut the school.
