morninggents should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
For those who follow Project Binky there is a new episode on YouTube. It looks like there will be at least one more episode to come at some point.

Gordon, hope that you have escaped the worst of the Gota Fria which seems to have swept up and around the east coast. It appears that the worst is and has been to the south and the north of you in the Almeria area.

Yes , hope Gordon is OK .
I believe Valencia has had the worst of it . Probably because it is surrounded by mountains where all of the rain runs down into the town .
The media has , as usual , blown it up to be the worst " ever " , ignoring the fact that the Almeria had more rain in 1982 twice , 1983 , 1987 twice , 1991 , 1996 twice , 2002 .
I believe there was also mention of the rivers , drains , run offs not being kept up . But that will all be ignored and climate change will be blamed .

The problem is that the local authorities tend to ignore previous incidents such as the Gota Fria, which is the extremely heavy downpours that occur periodically in the autumn.

The local village near where I lived is one such. There the council decided to build a whole "estate" on land that, for centuries, had been left as a natural watercourse , exactly because of those extreme downpours as that part of the village was at the base of a hill. Concerned villagers contacted the the relevant authorities in Madrid who came and instructed the local town hall that the couldn't build there, which was ignored.

The next autumn, the area flooded and all buildings already constructed were ruined. Having just looked at the area on maps, most of it has been allowed to return to nature, except for the roads that were constructed nearly 15 years ago.
