Watergeist.

The River Thames has been getting too big for its boots today, or, more accurately, its banks. It’s the latest part of Britain to be plagued by flooding, and a resident of one Berkshire community so afflicted said:

‘It was a scene from a horror movie.’

Horror movie? What sort of horror movie would that be? A vampire movie? A werewolf movie? A college-kids-in-peril-from-a-homicidal-axeman movie? A dead-Japanese-woman-with-long-black-hair-crawling-out-of-the-TV-set movie?

I can imagine that being flooded must be pretty awful, but horror movies aren’t generally about floating furniture, not unless it’s floating without the assistance of water. And why did he call it a ‘movie’ anyway? People from Berkshire, of all places, are supposed to speak English do.
