Have you heard the one about the Sheffielders who found something to laugh about as their homes were destroyed and their cars swept away?
In the face of last year's devastating floods some people fell back on their northern sense of humour to cope and still managed to crack a joke as their belongings were swept away.

Seeing your beloved home destroyed in front of your eyes would prompt a strong reaction in anyone - but how many could skip through the filthy water singing Singin' In The Rain?

And what would be funny about seeing a friend's car picked up and swept away?

Could it be the fact he'd only got it back from having work done at the garage the day before?

Click on the green video icon above to share a laugh with the last Winn Garden resident still living in a caravan 12 months later.
