Uh, quite evidently not - a large swathe of southern England had well in excess of 200mm last month, which is more then most of Northern Ireland, as you can see. NW Scotland is used to copious rainfall - southern England is usually dry. It's like NW Scotland getting 50mm in one month and experiencing wildfires because it's 'so dry', even though that's normal rainfall for here.
Well, no, they can't cope. The rainfall is unprecedented. There has never been a January wetter than 2014 in southern England, and it isn't going to end anytime soon. The land simply isn't used to this amount of water.
I'm actually sick of hearing about the flooding in England. Every single morning, we never hear any news except this flooding in England.
No offence but that won't affect us and we have more important things to be concerned with.
I don't quite understand why England floods so much anyway when we recieve more rain and basically never flood. Perhaps it is to do with the coverage.
It just seems like a major exageration. Constant flooding in this Summerset place when the same low pressure systems (stronger actually) and the same rain bands have been going over and over here and we have not been inundated once! Even the floodplains!
Either the land in England is ****e or the media are major exagerators.

The people can cope, the land can't. It's very flat here so the water has nowhere to go. Well over 300mm of rain here since the begininning of January is ridiculous.

What, like bombs & stuff going off & rioting because 'my religion is better than yours'...
The sooner they lump N.I back in with the ROI the better, no one in England cares about your grotty bit of the UK either...
Don't know how my work schedule, which is already cutting it close to begin with, is going to allow me enough time to get to class (which I have an exam in today) with these icy/snowy roads. Probably going to stay this way as we're forecast to max out at 29F (-2c). I'll have to ask to leave earlier, which probably won't be an issue.

Has your town run out of salt. NJ is experiencing salt shortages :
I don't think we've run out. Highways will be fine, I'm sure, but the local roads have been consistently snowed over this winter after snowfall, which isn't much an issue for me (I even enjoy driving on roads in such conditions ) except for the circumstances, as I'd rather not feel I have to hurry. There is no way to get there except by using local roads, not main ones. Even if we haven't run out of salt, I'm sure we're low on it, so it'll be diverted to the main roads.
