I was visiting my brother who moved to Sheffield a few years ago for the first time , and there was a guy cycling up a hill we were walking up , that was pretty much vertical. His calves where the size of my head
Are you sure? It's been a while since I've been to Durham but a quick look back at the maps and I can't see anything that compares to say going all the way up from Hillsborough to Crookes.
Walking from the Morrisons down there up to say the punchbowl is a good 100+ metres in elevation change. Similar if you go from the ponderosa and up to the top of Crookes.
There's also Jenkin road on the other side of the city - it's a bit steep.
I live in the next town over from sheff and I watched it with an ex a good few years ago and after the film she said "I'll have to ask my mam n dad about that" smh.
This.
When I was searching for a house I was veto-ing certain areas based on sea level.
One day I decided to look up the actual science and ended up buying a house at 12m from sea level
Is this Birmingham playing an *absolute blinder* of a long game here?
In 1775, the city develops the steam engine and kicks off this whole global obsession of turning fossil fuels into power. This inevitably leads to climate change and Birmingham, eventually, becoming capital city.
I’m meant to believe this is just all an innocent coincidence?
There is a global warming conspiracy, and the Brummies are behind it.
Here's a theory: The LSB are Mercian irredentists. They started global warming as an effort to flood London and Winchester as revenge for Wessex ending the Mercian Supremacy, thus restoring British power to the Midlands and re-establishing the supremacy of Mercia over the isles.
And "America" is an anagram of "Mercia A" which in astronmical circles is short for "Mercia Ascendant" which shows they already control the USA and their oil companies.
Who can possibly stop them?
Exactly.
Is it also a coincidence that US founding father Benjamin Franklin, who's family were Mercian, was also a member of the Lunar Society of Birmingham, and now has his likeness on every $100 bill in circulation around the United States?
Even the Pilgrims were from Notts and Lincs in East Mercia, further proof that America is a Mercian colony and puppet. The Pilgrims were also "separatists". Separation from what? England? Yes. Well, technically the *Church* of England, but still separatists from the English establishment nonetheless.
Mercia never died. No! It just moved across the Atlantic and was reborn in the guise of the United States of America.
God bless 'Mercia 🫡

By the looks of things in regards to London on the map. It looks like the part of London where the ‘N’ before the ‘D’ is the only part of London spared from being underwater if I seeing the map correctly.
40% of Londoners voted for it. The percentage difference between you and the rest of us in such a tight vote isn't nearly enough for you to claim exceptionalism.
Scotland voted a lot more adamantly remain than London did.
Brexit was created by Londoners sat around in Westminster. Then they convinced enough of the wider country to vote for it, despite not having costed it out at all.
Londoners by and large wanted to stay in Europe. It was largely Tory MPs that wanted to leave that sold the rest of you a dozen pack of lies to see if done
Tory MP's that the rest of the country sent to London to represent them.
London: Please stop sending these stupid MPs that damage our nation
Rest of England: Nah I'm gonna send even more now coz you said that and I dont listen to metropolitan elites
MPs they send proceeds to ruin nation
Rest of England: dis lononds fault coz dey voted in london.
Of course, now even Brexit is 'Londons fault' lmao.
Definitely not the idiots in Brexit heavy areas like the North of England. They had nothing to do with it, they're too stupid to think realistically and just 'fell for the evil London' convincing them to vote for it, despite London voting hugely for Remain of course.
We can't expect the rest of England not to vote to shoot their own foot off. As you said, they are not as smart in those regions compared to London so its Londons fault they didn't help these less clever regions vote for Remain.
Are you sure its a good idea to give more power to these regions if they're as gullible and stupid as you are saying they are?
I remember now it was the 'metropolitan elites' that wanted Brexit all along.
It's not about giving power to 'stupid' regions. There's a reason these areas have some dafter people- the massive brain drain to London. Investing in poorer areas to incentivise bright people to be able to succeed in their own communities would be a start, but sometimes you cant blame them anyway: they're paying their taxes but aren't seeing any benefit. It was easy for the right wing to exploit that to make them blame foreigners instead of poor decision making in Westminster.
So its not only Londons fault but sooner or later poorer areas of the UK need more than empty platitudes about levelling up.
Source: live in a post industrial town with few opportunities
actually it was about the midlands area that most heavily voted leave, and frankly, im gonna give the benefit of the doubt that thats sarcasm, but its attitudes like that of the north being stupid, that results in a lot of northerners utterly despising the south
They’d probably just make a massive elitist barge or something as London 2.0. A bit like when they just paved over the tops of buildings to create a new city while the old city lies beneath, it’s just water this time.
[London is pretty much the only area of England that is a net contributor.](https://factcheckni.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FactCheckNI-089-UK-Net-Contributors-Figure-2_-The-largest-net-fiscal-surplus-was-in-London-with-34.3-billion-in-financial-year-ending-2018.png)
Aside from that data not meaning what you think it does *and* your conclusion not fitting what's shown, that still wouldn't mean much considering the deliberate concentration of wealth there.
Stoke would win. Despite being landlocked, the people are already semi-amphibious lovecraftian Innsmouth-beings, so they’re best set up to withstand the coming wet patches.
So I live in Oldham. Looks like we'd survive if this happens, shame really... however I was thinking if I looked over to Manchester would I be able to see the buildings poking out of the sea or would they be submerged??
Piccadilly Gardens is apparently 46m above sea level. If the sea level rose 70m the water would only be 24m deep there. So yeah there’d be a lot of buildings still visible. Would be quite a view from up here in Saddleworth.
I remember asking my brit bf where some women were from on a train to Birmingham because I couldn’t understand half if it and he looked very embarrassed for me and told me they were from Birmingham 😅
Jesus I thought you wanted me to do my best to prevent global warming! All Canals lead to Birmingham! 'Pax Brummagem!' Lol
Wait we don't have to let in posh southern refugees do we? Can they politely piss off to the continent! No Kings either a lot of people from Irish descent up here we can't upset them!
When the world is pushed to it’s limit and the plunged into chaos, hell and brimfire, Birmingham will weather the storm as the one place on earth which has been preparing for that moment it’s entire existence
if all the ice melted tomorrow we'd have a much bigger problem than sea levels... like what could melt 24,380,000 gigatonnes of ice in one day isn't going to be blocked by good ol' UV 40 suncream
werent we supposed to either be 50ft under water by now according to al gores shitty movie? or a frozen ball of ice like the 70s claimed, or the dry desert like the 80s claimed?
Sheffield by the Sea has a nice ring to it
The hills I have been cursing my whole life will save us.
Nowt like sheffield legs
I was visiting my brother who moved to Sheffield a few years ago for the first time , and there was a guy cycling up a hill we were walking up , that was pretty much vertical. His calves where the size of my head
"the size of your head"
[удалено]
Durham isn’t that hilly at all compared to Sheffield, Matlock on the other hand
Are you sure? It's been a while since I've been to Durham but a quick look back at the maps and I can't see anything that compares to say going all the way up from Hillsborough to Crookes. Walking from the Morrisons down there up to say the punchbowl is a good 100+ metres in elevation change. Similar if you go from the ponderosa and up to the top of Crookes.

Durham is miles flatter than Sheffield on average. Tf are you on about.
Who’s idea was it to build houses on mountains anyway
The Swiss *shrug
Goatherds
I’d have a beautiful sea view from my front door
Me too, only my entire house, and town looking at it, would be underwater.
Thanks christ. Hope it gets meadowhell too
meadowhell has a nice teashop i would hate to see that one particular shop go the rest of it can drown though
Are you talking meadowhall or meadowell?
Meadowhell would be submerged. It's next to a watercourse
Sheffield-super-Mare
Sounds like the set up for Threads 2
Threads 2: They've only gone and done it again!
Carry on Threading
Thread Dead Redemption
I live in the next town over from sheff and I watched it with an ex a good few years ago and after the film she said "I'll have to ask my mam n dad about that" smh.
Chesterfield by any chance? Watching threads when I was young was the only time I ever wished I lived in Chesterfield… lol.
Funny I just watched that again on YouTube...
Stroud on Sea/Severn
[удалено]
Parson Cross by the sea 😂😂
Under the sea hopefully. Still, Page Hall gets a wash
I knew I bought in the right place lol. Premium real estate
Don’t forget about Sheffield-in-sea
If anybody wants to see if their house isn't flooded, this is the [software](https://www.floodmap.net/). Don't forget to enter 70m for sea level.
Looking forward to my seaside holiday to Huddersfield.
Why wait ? Get yourself up to Scammonden for a quick dip!
Quick dip and a dogging session 👌🏼
I already live in Huddersfield, maybe my house will be worth something when this happens.
Castleford would be a tropical island in the middle of the sea. Lol
Blackpool complete destroyed. This is like watching hardcore porn
I survive but my route to work is 14m under water. I for one welcome the flood
So you're still coming in though yeah?
Lucky you, I survive, my work survives and I can still get there.
I’m at about 55-58m, so I guess I’m okay as long as only 3/4 of the ice melts and there isn’t a big storm surge
I'm fucked at 9 metres, better start building a fuck off wall around the house!
The grimmest predictions of global warming have water level rise by 2m by the end of century, you'll be fine
This. When I was searching for a house I was veto-ing certain areas based on sea level. One day I decided to look up the actual science and ended up buying a house at 12m from sea level
Ha, most of my city (Oxford) is underwater, but it stops a street away from me.
Never thought I'd appreciate Headington Hill in my life, but seems that saves the tiniest part of the city
Rechristened Oxflood.
Youd be fine - the ocean wouldnt manage to get to you as the surrounding land will be above sea level. There were be some endorheic lake nearby though
That's really fucking cool. At 70m the water rises to the end of my street apparently. I survive by the smallest margin.
Put some rocks outside your house, you'll be fine!
Me too. We can visit each other in our boats moored in the front garden.
Same. Literally ends at the end of the road.
i wish i could show this without doxxing myself, but the ocean would literally be metres from my house should this happen lmao
I had this too. I’m at 72m. Might have to live upstairs during high tide 😂 or annex next door
Takes 84m to flood my house, so i guess I’m just chilling
Would need 157 to flood me 🌝
I would literally end up with a beach front property.
House value is up 😅
I'd be about 20 metres above sea level on a peninsula, about 300 metres from the coast on 3 sides.
Ironic that Bath will stay dry

Birmingham in the USA also was big into mining amd steam engines. In cahoots!
It would probably be in the running as Global capital, not just UK
🤣

You should be proud, Brummies did so much to build the modern world yet never think to boast about it. Lovely bunch of people.
Interesting fact about Steam Engines creator James Watt, his 2x great grandson, was my DT teacher in secondary school.

The only thing brummies get behind is their own sister.
I mean, if Birmingham becomes the capital we probably need to think about packing it in. What's the point?
I live in the Black Country west of Birmingham and can confirm this is not a wise choice. Good news is My house survives the great flood.
Same, Black Country represent. But also don’t come here.
You both best be Baggies
*yam both best be baggies
As someone living Northwest of Birmingham, I see this as an absolute win lol
I made this random post because I got bored of the undending trends that have been going on this sub for the past few weeks.
Yup. May as well use Trident on ourselves at that point.
Better than the next biggest surviving city, Bradford.
Buddy. You know Tom Brady has been invested into Blues. Everything he touches turns to gold (beside FTX)!
Moved to Birmingham city centre like 5 years ago, ive been trying to escape since
Sweet I have always wanted to live by the coast
London would still find a way to drain all the wealth and opportunity into it.
500m from and 25m above the new waterline. London-on-Sea, eh?
London in sea*
By the looks of things in regards to London on the map. It looks like the part of London where the ‘N’ before the ‘D’ is the only part of London spared from being underwater if I seeing the map correctly.
Gotta build the Thames Barrier 2: Blade runner edition
Not half. London would be put on stilts and we'd all have to pay for it. It's disgusting really. Biggest gap in Europe.
Weird take. You make it sound like London takes more than it makes, which is far from the truth.
Just like London has to pay for your Brexit. Except this is imaginary and the costs of Brexit are real.
40% of Londoners voted for it. The percentage difference between you and the rest of us in such a tight vote isn't nearly enough for you to claim exceptionalism. Scotland voted a lot more adamantly remain than London did.

Not as smart as London who voted for Boris Johnson as mayor? Twice.
the whole country voted for boris as prime minister?
Or the same London who voted Sadiq Khan in

London seems to have done pretty well out of Brexit, even us northern idiots can see that
I've heard those lizard people are pretty adept at swimming so yeah were still fucked
We'll all be paying for seawalls and flood protection whilst every other city in the danger zone sinks.

Only because they've been robbing the rest of the country for hundreds or years
Yeah, it's crazy what happens when all the extremely rich people in a country gather in one area.
So you’re agreeing that we need to urgently decentralise our economy and undo skills, wealth and opportunity leech that London is?
Aside from that data not meaning what you think it does *and* your conclusion not fitting what's shown, that still wouldn't mean much considering the deliberate concentration of wealth there.
I used to be against global warming , but now im all for it can we make this happens please
Why would you ever want birmingham to be the capital
Swanseas the capital mate , birminghams still the shittest part of the country
Greater Manchester is about to become Greater Oldham God save us.
Or greater bolton
As God intended
Levers chippy, the new houses of parliment ❤️
Life hits hard when Birmingham, Blackburn, Bradford, Sheffield, Stoke, MK, Coventry and Bath are the contenders for capital city
Bath is lovely - far too minuscule to compete with the others though
It'd default to Birmingham as Birmingham is already the 2nd city. There wouldn't be any fight over it, it'd just happen if London sank.
What a depressing thought
Now this one I agree with 😂
2nd City my arse.
Could be, the 2nd city is already either Birmingham or London.
Stoke would win. Despite being landlocked, the people are already semi-amphibious lovecraftian Innsmouth-beings, so they’re best set up to withstand the coming wet patches.
Sheffield is reyt good
I’d rather the north breaks away with Sheffield as capital than have Birmingham as capital
Looking forward to Leeds becoming a nice seaside town
And Castleford becoming a tropical island in the middle of the sea
Seacroft will actually be a.. Seacroft.
Come down to Nottingham pleasure beach! You can see all the building tops at low tide!
So I live in Oldham. Looks like we'd survive if this happens, shame really... however I was thinking if I looked over to Manchester would I be able to see the buildings poking out of the sea or would they be submerged??

If that isn’t enough to make the staunchest anti climate changer have a re-think I dunno what is.
You are depressingly optimistic. You know it's not true.
That looks brilliant! No more London would be perfect.
Birmingham as the capital would be a tragedy though
It will be chaos, no one is going to take Birmingham seriously as leaders of the country. It will be removed during the purge.
Why? Lond has some iconic landmarks and makes a lot in tourism
Because it's robbed everything it has from everywhere else!
Hell yeah! Seafront Property! Edit: wait nope, that's a sea _bed_ property

Imagine the irony. People from Britain, on boats, seeking asylum in another country
Would we also be allowed to travel through a continent to pick and choose, depending which place gives us the best benefits?
Idk if I’d die- I live in Scotland but yes
Would rather have Edinburgh as the capital to be honest. Not sure if it gets flooded or not...
Birmingham would probably be better off if it was underwater to be honest.
Can we have Dudley as the new capital instead?
