This filling station, incorporating a grocery store and open 24 hours a day, will have had probably its poorest day's trade today - not because the pumps are dry but because the road is wet. The River Stour at Longham Bridge, half a mile or so behind us, burst its banks midmorning and the A348 had been close all day, from Bear Cross Roundabout just ahead of us.
