Just been for a swim at Bannatynes Got chatting, wasn't paying attention, next thing I was on Dodworth High Street. Up periscope!
It's true I was swimming against the current. Bit chilly though but it warmed up as I did the backstroke past the Dil Raj. trouble is doing backstroke it is difficult to see where you are going, and I banged my head on the sign outside the post office. After that I just sort of drifted a while. Still got home OK thanks for your concern.
What are we going to do with you? I suppose you're off to bed to mend your head with vinegar and brown paper!
Nope... Bloody submarine won't start. Think it got a bit damp last time I went out in it. Still messing with it should be sorted soon.
Don't think so. from Dearne FM "Buses replacing trains between Barnsley and Sheffield due to flooding, also problems between Leeds and Barnsley due to flooding at Woolley – buses unable to call at Elsecar"

RE: From National rail website Glad I use buses for the most part. Seen some reight bad water at Shelley and Fenay Bridge. Brother in law had to pick up my nephew from special school in New Mill, due to it being shut early. There's flooding all of two minutes from me. I'm lucky I live at the top of a slope and so never even look likely to be flooded.
Yeah a few times mate, usually stick to tarn but Mondays at Leadmill is alright for summert a bit different.
