I claim my geek points!

See my comment* at Tim W's here. Follow up here.

Offending article here, see last paragraph.

* My excuse for delay in commenting being I had a busy day today. and did not get round to reading FT until I was on the way home.

Southern England is sinking at a rate of about an inch a year I believe, so to taking that into account, this recent high tide is below the 1953 one.

It's only a couple of millimetres a year, actually.

But your point is perfectly valid - this storm surge was nowhere near as bad as in 1953.

According to the first series of Coast its an inch, but i suspect thats an average of the north going up and the south going down.

anyway your doomed! :0)

The first series of Coast?
That was on the Beeb, so you may assume that it was lying.
