We do have the power on the understatement in this country. I remember
in January 2005 Carlisle was hit by a flash flood and one on the tv
reports said that "a fence had been washed over". Why did this stick in
my mind so much, two weeks earlier I had survived a tsunami that killed
300,000 people and the UK national tv news were talking about fences
being washed over.
It made me laugh.
