    Cheltenham is like a ghost town

    We have floods but there is no water coming out of our taps. There are no public toilets open in the town centre and most of the restaurants even M & S's coffee shop in the High Street is closed. All the pubs are closed in Cheltenham and so is my leisure centre (Leisure at Cheltenham) which was flooded out last Friday.

    Bowsers have arrived but they are being used by people who are taking the water and selling it. It is a nightmare here in Gloucestershire.

    Plenty of opportunities for thieving i'd imagine.

      No water in Cheltenham?

      What on earth are the ponies and hounds to survive on?

          I don't give a damn about the ponies and hounds!! I have 4 kids and there is no water coming out of my taps. And we have been told by Severn Trent Water that this situation is likely to continue for at least another week.

                Hear it's raining again tomorrow might be worth while trying to catch some of the wet stuff if you're without for a week.
