I'm so fed up...

Tom I'm so sorry you were subjected to that pal. I hope your nice and snug now. I would keep you home tomorrow as a form of protest. Well lets face it if it's that wet then you cant relay on the transport as bus drivers just seem to take off when they want.

Fran I would email the headmaster AFTER you have got in touch with the local paper. See how they like them eggs! It seems that until the weather has subsided the safest place for Tom and Em is at home.
Oh G*d I'm raging at that bus driver, How dare he put kids and passengers safety at risk like that! If a kid has gone missing then that's even worse.

Oh Lord! I'm praying that lad will be found safe and well! Is he one of your friends Tom?

But I had a job on picking her up and getting her home. Luckily her school is only a couple of miles away. Tom's is at the other side of the city.

Those piccies Tom has posted are about half a mile from where we live

I've just caught up on this Tom..... that is appalling of the bus driver to turn you off the bus like that, with no consideration for your safety at all. He certainly needs reprimanding.

Your Mum must have been worried sick about you....

I'm so relieved you managed to get home safely and if I were your Mum I would certainly complain to the school about keeping you there knowing that the floods were getting worse.

Hopefully your school will be closed tomorrow, surely they can't expect children to turn up in weather conditions like that!

Hope you are feeling a lot warmer and comfortable now Tom....x

Oh yes they can Mags!

The lower school of raechel and Hayleys school has been flooded since tuesday last week. 5 classrooms (including Hayleys) are unusable at the moment. They have had machines in to try and dry them out, meanwhile the kids have been in the corridors, and the stench is horrendous!!

But apparently health and safety have been out and said it is alright for the school to remain open! I am seriously considering taking Hayley out of school tomorrow if I walk in to find that smell again. it is enough to turn your stomach!

Thanks everyone.... Yes it was awful... I'm not sure myself who it is who has gone missing because I got a lift where as other people were still up there.. Someone just mentioned it to me on the internet not long ago...

Thanks again everyone.. Not sure whether i will be going tomorrow or not.

Tom xx

Think you would be better at home Tom, at least you would be safe...

Not trying to defend the school here but do you think its because really unlike snow the rain water is moving so dangerous/fast/deep; as Tom's pictures confirm those girls standing knee deep.
Maybe the school did not think it "safe" for them to be allowed to just leave, thinking children being children may not go home directly but mess about in running/dangerous water.
I have just seen on the news a lad has gone missing from beside a river thats broken its banks - hope that not the lad from your bus Tom, didn't catch the area but they were talkingof Yorkshire before.
And a man of 28 has died after being trapped in a drain, despite efforts from police divers he was trying to clear water for his grandad.

Water is so risky we had trouble the other week as you know with people being rescued via JCB buckets from sunroofs, and that was grown men not school children unable to walk due to the force of the water.

And on the news it looks like 3 sea-king helicopters normaly for sea recue have been called in to rescue people from office roofs.

But the bus driver thats totaly useless, and should be complained about at least he could have taken them to somewhere safe to be "left and collected" not just all out.
