Yesterday I was looking at a map of the results for selected sea level rises and, should there be a 95m rise, our house (marked) would have a nice sea inlet a couple of hundred metres up the road, which would be perfect for kayaking.
The whole of the UK would, admittedly, be an archipelago comprising many small areas of land, with Wales being dominant.
Old Sodbury would change to Sodbury on Sea. Knowing our luck, there would probably be a mega oil terminal built in Sodbury Bay.
London would simply disappear and Buith Wells in central Wales (Wales Island), or possibly Birmingham, might be the new capital.
However, that's an impossible scenario as, even if all earth's ice melted, sea levels would rise by only 70 metres, so I'll have to pack away the beach towel.
