1. Sick of seeing a farmer in wellies telling us who he thinks should resign - like that's going to make a difference. What would make a difference is if farmers stopped filling in their ditches so they can grow another few ounces of grain and stopped digging up trees so that their sheep can trample the ground into an impermeable water-chute.
2. People who buy houses on flood plains (at reduced rates) then moan about floods.
3. The media reporting it like it's a national disaster - "SHOCK NEWS! FAIRLY WELL-OFF COUPLE FORCED TO RE-DECORATE!!!"
4. Flood warnings that say there is risk to life. Well, if you jump into a swollen river or act like a total dick and drive your Reliant Robin into a raging torrent, yes, possibly.
5. People who think it's vital that someone important, with a lot better things to do comes to visit, so he can fully understand the horror of wearing wellies and warped laminate-flooring.
6. People who get on moi land, are you on moi land, get orf I'll set moi dog on you and he's got a shotgun.
New Orleans was a flood.
This is just weather
All very sensible trenchant points, well maybe not arming your dog that's just irresponsible.
