Here, Here, well done you guys, i was a bit dissapointed to hear about people charging each other for ferrying people a cars through Henley over the weekend. Was good to know our some of our guys were there helping for free. and now were even offering aid. =D>

I've been pulling people out (charging when they ignore road closed signs and me saying "You WONT make it!"), moving vehicles to high ground, helping with casevacs and ferrying people (including paramedics and firecrews)
No one asked me to, I just offered.

No but the thought is there in the back of my mind that we could offer. Need a member in the affected areas to co-ordinate it though. I dont know a lot about the state of Bucks, Oxford etc although I know its not good.
Insurance may become a pain butoff the top of my head I know in hants we have at least 3 veichles right off the bat capable of recovery work and working in deep water, and I'm almost sure theyd be willing to pitch in.
What I suspect would really help would be people to tow/rescue people, recover veichles/clear waterways and anyone in the agri business that may have water pumps. Went through this in Coaldale a few years back and spent the entire two weeks of my holidays shuffling 3 rover turbine pumps about in the ranger.
I think when its all a bit of a laff etc and its only something liek a foor then a few beer tokens is fine, its just a bit past that now. I'd love to help if I had a clutch.

My cousin drove all the way back from Germany on Friday to go to Billing, got to Stratford Upon Avon, saw how bad it was and spent two days dragging cars out of water and ferrying people around, all this in a V8 Rangie!!
I would have joined him had my 110 not failed an MOT on Friday morning..
