So what happens, if the sea breaches say in the next couple of years, say for example we have a big storm.... will we all be chucked out of our homes or will the sea go back again after a few months as it did in 1938. How does insurance work in that sitituation if insurance states that it rebuilds the property.    Report

All I can say to that swampie is that the insurance has paid out approx £20.000 to £50.000 each to the homes in my area, to dry out, renovate and replace items lost and also for temporary accommodation, during the sea surge last November. I would also like to know if they would pay to replace any properites which were permanently lost to the sea.      Report

If the intention is to stop rebuilding and developing current sea defenses, then the sea will not go back swampie. If it is a tidal surge, then it will retreat but leave a huge amount of salt water, mostly in stagnant pools and shallow lakes. Salt marsh would slowly form, the extent of which is difficult to estimate. This could happen tomorrow!!! Although it is unlikely. Of course the sea would then be open to easier access if no work was undertaken and it would continue to come in and go out until the area became a part of the North Sea. Time scale estimate between 20 and 50 years. Dream on keithgerrard@gerrard24.freeserve.co.uk    Report

Anything to confuse the general public, eh and what a bore it is to be repetitous. nevermind   Through the aid of a skilled intepreter, I've come to the conclusion that that your post above accuses me of being a substance abuser. This is                                  DEFAMATION! I should of course be contacting that noble old jurist EQUITATOR and via a massive fee, retaining him to pursue you for your last penny and beyond. I should - but there again - this means that I would be forced to actually meet the awful, fustian old pedant and listen to his Rumpole - style reminiscences. So frankly,  I can't be arsed. Also knowing my luck, I'd probably have to settle for a huge legal bill and free window-cleaning on account. I'll have you know the only lines I take are  a few rhyming couplets. So I'll have a little Germanic apology instead, won't I?    Report

Your public position on the LCA more than justifies my gentle dig about weed, whilst your blundering response which purports to categorise me as a Class A drug abuser, is neither proportional nor funny. And of course I'm not threatening you. I may mock the afflicted, but I don't waste time or breath making them the subject of vendettas. I suppose what I'm actually saying old sport, is that in this post moderation era, and on this forum, it might benefit you to actually read what you've written for once, rather than consign it thoughtlessly to the rest of us. And if you want me to take a joke, please make it a better one.    Report
