You lost in WW2 that’s why you are being flooded with child groomers from other countries and you are not allowed to complain about it.

I recall that many decades ago we had about 12 inches of water built up in the exit corner of our works car park. This was a company with 600 staff! I towed five or six others out of it with my old VW camper!

I'm impressed! Several smart drivers! The guy who reversed thru the ford got it right, as did those who backed up before getting in too deep. Several drivers got lucky- they made it thru. And then, the stars of the show, the idiots who floored it, and blew up their engines. Nice Job, BENGREGERS!
