I’d have opted for the dog more than the bike and window ledge. Nice of the bbc team to help.

Wonder how the guy on home dialysis got on?

NETFLIX

These people are not moaning like the people of grenfell and just got on with it. Amazing what the whites can do....

WTF is going on here? A couple 'allowed' to take their dogs on Thursday.What right have the police to allow or disallow this? Also the man pictured returning today has a dog in view. Surely the poor thing hadn't been left since Thursday.😡

Hope he got the dog

problem is I need more than 15 minutes to work out what to grab in 15 minutes Then if you change your mind can you go back for another 15 minutes and do you have to put the original stuff back? I need to know the rules!

I blame both Brexit and aliens for this entire mess.

Glad to see he’s got his bike!

Feel so sorry for the folk there. Their house prices have plummeted now 😢

People going back for their pets? 🤔 People left without their pets? 😨 People left without their pets!!! 😤

But what about all the people that don't drive or own a car? Like if each resident only get a 15 minute time window to pack their main essentials, how on earth are they meant to carry all of that stuff? It's mad!! 😬😬😬😬😬

Whaley Bridge residents allowed to return for 15 minutesPeople evacuated from town threatened by damaged dam make ‘controlled’ visits to pick up pets and other essentials To pick up all the 'optimism' they couldn't pack 😒 What an awful situation for them 😔 Should not have left animals to suffer what they wouldn't. Shouldn't have responsibility of any animals if that's how they behave, they aren't belongings to be collected later. How disgraceful.
