Never, ever, try to get to work early. Sod's Law dictates that something will go wrong with your journey, making you end up getting in late.
Colliers Wood was flooded this morning. I don't mean Colliers Wood tube station, mind you, I mean Colliers Wood. Ankle deep it was.
Update: BBC coverage: Homes flooded after pipe bursts. Colliers Wood hits the big time!
Shit, my parents live on Cavendish Road. I hope that they aren't flooded out. They aren't answering their phones, landline or mobile. But then, they never turn their mobiles on.
I also hope that I still have water, but clearly this isn't critical.

Sorry this interfered with your journey in though!
