Well, perhaps not at the Environment Agency....
We notice that Owen Paterson is chairing a meeting of COBRA about the response to the floods.... we can only assume that's not because he's there to spout EA-PR and congratulate everybody about how wonderfully the organisation has been dealing with the squelchy last few weeks.
We earnestly hope that somebody (Chris , Paul , David?) wheels out "The Wrong Type of Rain" excuse - we really do...The EA it seems, knows little beyond being self serving and we hope that the dog will notice it's tail is out of control- if only for a moment....
We see that the EA Area Manager from St Albans has been "reassuring" Bradford folk via the wonderfully inept self regarding PR department - duly copied and pasted by The Wiltshire Times. (Note unimpressed comments) - we wonder if these press releases are even touched by human hand....
We'd also offer our commiserations to our neighbours who're enduring the floods.
I don't want to be unduly alarmist - but America sneezes ....
Meanwhile, EA sockpuppet outfit ClimateSouthWest concern themselves with
The sheer volume of EA PR, Twittering and Facebooking flooding the media tells you - it's their first day back - and they're clicking all the screen buttons in their nice warm, dry, expensive offices - it's like the bad weather and floods over Christmas break didn't happen....
Seems the little nation of England has an EA that comes startlingly close to rivalling even the US EPA and Canadian EA.
