I mean, okay I live near the sea and it just runs off, but I'm in Oban atm (and yeah it's near the sea too) and even with all the valleys and that none are anywhere near flooded.
And actually, for supposedly being the wet and miserable part of Britain it's not rained here for a few days...
something to do with the way the water flows, its been like that for thousands of years and the areas around have changed and adapted to the natural flow of the water, so it only usually goes through certain areas. also im assuming its quite grassy noe? if so then a lot of water gets absorbed there too.
im usually wrong though
