Determined Domino's driver ploughs scooter through flood
A committed Domino's driver rode soaked himself in order to make a delivery after nobly negotiating deep flood water en route to a customer.
The image shows the defiant driver braving a notorious flood spot that was a foot-deep, soaking himself but seemingly leaving the pizza unscathed.
Resident Richard Johnson caught the hilarious moment on camera in Sutton, south London, last week.
The 46-year-old praised the driver as a 'true defiant Brit' for his dedication though he speculated whether the customer might wonder why the box was wet.

Domino's named the tenacious delivery man as Gabriel Guliman and claimed their boxes could withstand all weather conditions - even British summertime.
Richard said: 'The driver was determined to reach the top [of the flood spot's dip].
'He got to the bottom of the incline where the water collects and he just went for it. I just thought full marks for effort.
'Delivery drivers can receive a bit of stick for not delivering on time but in true defiant Brit style he certainly wasn't letting that happen because of a bit of water.
'They moved through the water very speedy so at least the pizza won't be as cold as the weather. It might have been hot but I wonder if the pizza or pizza box ended up wet?
'I would like to think there is someone out there wondering why when they received their pizza delivery the pizza box was soaking.
'I hope they find out and appreciate the efforts the driver went to. It was quite funny to watch really.
'As he made his way through the flood the water just surrounded the driver, their legs especially must have been soaking wet, but he seemed unfazed by it. I think as Brits we're getting used to weather like this.'
The driver who came from the Worcester Park Domino's branch, was thoroughly praised by Richard and other on lookers.
The contained floods are not unusual as during severe downpours, Richard claims the road becomes flooded and blocked, with drivers often finding themselves in trouble.
Richard said: 'Cars and bikes often go in there thinking it is only a few centimetres deep then the next thing they are stuck.
'It is really deceiving but the road is so low so that double decker buses can fit underneath the bridge.
'We had one car a few weeks ago that actually started to float while it was stuck in the dip.

'Often when the weather is bad there is a group of us that go down there because we know a car will get stuck and we often need to help them.
'Sometimes the water can just completely engulf a car.'
Louise Butler, a spokesperson for Domino's, said: 'Gabriel Guliman from Worcester Park branch, we salute you!
'It's fantastic to see a colleague go the extra mile to deliver a freshly handmade Domino's so in recognition of Gabriel's efforts, we'd like to nominate him for an ODE for un-WAVE-ring services to Extraordinary Delivery.
'Just as well our bike boxes are made to withstand all weather conditions, even 'British Summertime'!'
