“I really wish the telegraph would create their own website - "thisis:...." website's are slow and unresponsive to adding and updating comments which make us look like idiots!
Completely agree that the GT should actually post the link, would make life a lot easier for people in a hurry!!”

“Oh that's annoying! Why does this website take so long to actually show your posts - especially since it kept telling me an error had occurred!
Oh and tone1428, the link you posted has alerts dated from december 2008!!”

“Thanks s_gunn I put 'Humber' in the search engine on the Environment agency website and got nothing, silly me not to think of putting Humber tributaries lol perhaps the GET should think of including the link with the article!”
