We've got used to seeing journalists and politicians to see who could walk deepest in the floodwaters in recent weeks, but only today did I witness this kind of thing first hand.

This is a CBS reporter, possibly Charlie D'Agata, reporting on flooding on the River Thames west of London. He's probably telling the audience "this stuff around me is called water" and "Over there is Ali G's childhood home".

But the funniest thing he had to walk back into position countless times until the cameraman and producer were satisfied. When I left, they were still trying to get everything right!

Here, the reporter is on the footpath alongside by the river in Staines-Upon-Thames.
