Marooned and 'forgotten' in Kempsey floods (From Worcester News)

I found a forgotten Macaroon once - It was down the back of the sofa, truly awful. The Rich Tea however was fine once I blew the dust and hair off it.

“Mrs Smith has told emergency services she is happy to remain”

“David Harrison, Malvern Hills district councillor, has offered her help and left her his phone number.”

"Area commander Jon Pryce, of Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, said “We did not receive a 999 call from this lady. After the call from the Worcester News we contacted her and she has confirmed she is not in any danger and is happy to stay in her property.”

How can she say she’s been abandoned? She’s had at least three offers of help and turned them all down, what else does she want?

Well, a little bit of empathy and compassion wouldn't go amiss rather than the nip picking tone of the above comment.

Oops not quite sure how that happened.

Just to say to hwicce as quoted above jacky hasnt been contacted by any body except david harrison the emergency crews didnt get a phone call from her as shes been upstairs alone with two dogs and was waiting for water to receed so she could start clean up. Unlike idiots in church street panicking and making it a massive publicity story. Shes the worse one in the village and the longest affected so i suggest you lot dont take mick out of her story unless you really know the truth. Get a life instead of picking at someone elses misfortune you bunch of dickheads"..........

@LAF Dig - so you're saying Jon Pryce is lying?

Who are you getting your information from. Do you know jacky. Do you know the fire brigade and when they rang her? You know nothing except what you and everybody else reads total rubbish.

LAF i feel truly sorry for this lady and anybody else experiencing floods. I was in the floods of 2007 in gloucester and was 6 months pregnant. Our van seized up and we had to walk 4 miles and stay at the leisure centre. I honestly thought i was going to lose our baby as i was so cold and wet and distressed along with health complications. I find anyone that criticises someones situation without knowing the full story rather despicable. Lets hope it doesn't happen to any of their relatives and if it does then lets see how they respond to negative (or snidey) cmments left on a forum!!. Wish the lady well and good on her for staying put and braving it out!!!!!! all the best.

Just to say to (only me) above who posted on this page. Thanks very much and il tell her your message at least somebody out there has been through this traumatic experience i dont wish it upon anyone just makes me angry that people can be so cold and rude about the rubbish the press write in papers. Thanks for your comment.............
