[Panel 1]
[Nils]
I have some bad news for you both.
[Elizabeth]
What, you've finally managed to
kick off the robot rebellion?
[Nils]
No, but the floods are
getting closer. First it was
in Somerset, now it's just
west of London up the Thames.
And that thing three roads
over IS the Thames.
[Panel 2]
[Bell]
Yeah, yeah, Thames Barrier.
[Nils]
That's for tidal surges.
When the water's coming
DOWN, it doesn't help.
[Elizabeth]
Hold on, are we below
sea level here?
[Nils]
Well, no. Technically... ish...
when the moon's not full or new...
[Panel 3]
[Bell]
So what do we DO?
[Nils]
First, get all the
computers into the attic.
The water probably won't get above
the wholemeal cafe downstairs,
but you can't be too careful.
Oh, and I suppose we ought to
take some precautions for us too.
[Panel 4]
[Bell]
DO rats eat soyburgers? Or
will they turn up their little
noses and go elsewhere?
[Nils]
Anyway, you lot can come in
to the office. If this place
floods, Canary Wharf will be
well under, and nobody will be
able to get in except by kayak.
[Elizabeth]
But WE don't have a kayak either.
[Nils]
You know it better as "that bloody
thing that's in the way of me
storing books in the loft".
