Don't worry. Everybody is either away or dealing with horrendous floods in Sheffield. It has been a big disaster area here and our steel works have been destroyed as the cold water flowed over the red hot furnaces exploding them and putting many men out of work. Many shops have lost their entire stock and over a 1000 people had to spend the night in the Town Hall and some will never be able to return to their homes and have lost everything. In Catcliffe area of sheffield, the water was up to the roofs and the damage will run into billions just in Sheffield. Of course now many other parts of the country are under water and I think Noah and his Ark would have been a great help as the whole country is devasted by horrendous floods. I think family history will not be on anyone's mind for a while and they have probably lost their computers in the water.
