00:00So I'm here at the Globe Inn in Leighton, Buzzard. Tom, just whip round.
00:07See those canal boats there? They are significantly riding higher in the water than they normally would do.
00:13A lot of rivers, a lot of streams, the canals, the water level has risen.
00:17Now if we take a look at the car park behind me that is owned by this pub, it's completely flooded.
00:23And you should be able to see in just a couple of moments time,
00:26two cars have become partly submerged right there as well.
00:30They're not the only thing submerged. Take a look at that.
00:33We've got beer barrels as well as you might expect with a pub floating in the water.
00:39That was floating just a few minutes ago.
00:41Now a lot of work now underway to try and pump all this water away from areas around the town.
00:47A lot of that's been done so far.
00:49Highways affected, travel affected as well and also we're expecting more rain to come on Thursday.
