What happened to Peterborough?

UK has always been on the dark side on my previous visits.

Let's face it ... she's slowly being eaten away by the tide anyway. Be thankful there's even that much left in a thousand years.

Surprised they haven't been inundated with questions about this.

Looks like Skeggy bought it too.

They adjusted sea levels for expected rises so some coastlines changed.

Well it's going to happen like that anyway. The majority of The Wash is at sea-level already.

I believe I read that they run a simulation to see what effects 1300 years of weather and climate would have on earth and the outcome is what you see.

Something like a 7 metre rise in sea levels makes it Peterborough-on-Sea, apparently.

Lol, Wales is nearly as far out as Cornwall lol

They must have moved Peterborough to Boston, because The Wash has been filled in.

Also the River Humber has been filled in too.

I should think someone from Norwich did the graphics for this... lol

Just a shame Londons still there.

Well, looks like my house will have a major damp problem in about thirteen hundred years. Alternatively, it will be prime lakeside property.
