Love the standard of reporting from the M.E.N. just copy and paste the report from GMFRS site.

I'm glad they put that caption on the photo. I wasn't sure what it was.

Very droll, Howard, that made me smile!

She's lucky to be alive.  I was walking the dog along that stretch of the river an hour or so earlier on Wednesday, and the river was a swollen torrent after the rain - it must have been a terrifying experience!
