It's been two weeks now since Chickenstrip moved into his new home in Carlisle.

He's been silent ever since.

Taking bets now that he's

5/1 Underwater
10/1 Sans broadband
2/1 Been run out of town for being a southerner

Any takers? Or other explanations?

No odds on him being in a hedge again or is that so likely that no-one will take a bet on it?

Edit: Beaten to it whilst typing...

I reckon he had no broadband, so he made his way to the citizens advice bureau but crashed into next door's hedge and whilst trapped the floods washed him towards the badlands part of Carlisle where he is currently being bummed for being a southerner.

Or he's at his Brother's.

BCF I'm surprised at your lack of concern.

FFS, David Cameron visited Carlisle today, don't you care?

Oh the humanity!

Poor Chickenstrip Crying or Very sad

I don't feel overly concerned, his was a newbuild so you'd hope it wasn''t built in a flood zone.
It'd be cool if he'd check-in though.

Say the worst happened...He's a resourceful and helpful bloke....[gulps] and I'm glad I met him. Crying or Very sad

Thought I had his number but it appears I don't, guessing one of you lot do? Worth sending a text?

Ha

went to look at a house on a new development once somewhere in the midlands.

road went over a long low bridge over a field, about 8ft clearance, the road then dropped 4-5ft

When asked about localised flooding it was shrugged off, on the way back out I stopped and had a closer look, was convinced it was a flood basin and looked it up online

yes, bridge goes over a flood channel created as a deliberate 'bank burst' (a low point in a flood bank) and races down past this development which had, 5 years previously flooded the area the development was on.

Flood zones are about the only places newbuilds are being built.


I have his mobile number, either that or I'm about to book a slightly kinky show. Will let you know how it goes.....either way.

EDIT:
Just spoke with Mr Strip and he has, thus far, avoided contact with local hedges and more importantly excessive water (by about 300yrds).
Arrived weekend of 21st Nov and been getting sorted. Taking some time to get services installed because there is, unsurprisingly, high demand and logistics for suppliers are more of an issue.
He should be online by end of this week.
Has been out on bike and stumbled across Hartside Cafe although it was closed and his route home was long and meandering due to conditions.
Town centre has been off limits for last 3 days.
Neighbours seem nice, mostly young families, but it seems very quiet even at weekends.

He seemed quite touched that we were thinking of him. I told him we weren't, it was all Tracey and the rest were just taking bets as to whether or not he'd fired himself at the scenery or not.....then the phone went dead. He did mention it was low on credit....

Very Happy

Much appreciated. Thumbs Up

I did a little search for newbuild homes in Carlisle and 'looks like' they're not in the main flood area. Fingers crossed for Nick.

[edit] nice.

Thanks Pigeon, deep down I was sure a resourceful wild camper like him could cope with the flooded North, even if he is a southerner.

As you were everyone and remember, when he does come back........
