nice of the usally scathing daily mail to trivialise and make a joke out of this awful situation.... although thinking about it, they could actually be serious about the gavin henson thing, quick as they are to jump to conclusion!

I make no comment on any paper as they are all in league with one of our dodgy parliamentary parties or another but the pictures are great.

 

I have already heard from a local at the scene that it is quite a regular occurrence and is due to an old iron works / mine flooding.

 

They used to have Bible Black rivers in Wales from the mine slag heaps so I guess maybe our rivers might be getting a bit cleaner.
