The River Uck also has a scenic walk alongside it. The river burst its banks in 2000, flooding much of Uckfield and the surrounding countryside.[2][3] The signs indicating the name of the river have been subject to frequent vandalism, resulting in the council fitting specially shaped signs which reduce the ability of vandals to add the letter 'f' to the word 'Uck'.[4][5] In the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel Good Omens the River Uck plays a small, but important scene in the narrative.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|publisher=Wealden District Council |url=http://www.wealden.gov.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.aspx?lID=4567&sID=1978 |title=SFRA North - Watercourses and Catchment Areas |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927072435/http://www.wealden.gov.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.aspx?lID=4567&sID=1978 |archivedate=September 27, 2011 }} {{Commons category}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Uck}}{{EastSussex-geo-stub}}{{England-river-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/967952.stm|publisher=BBC News|title=South hit by severe floods | date=2000-10-12}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.geography.org.uk/resources/flooding/uckfield/impact|title=Uckfield Case Study: What was the impact of the October 2000 flood?|publisher=Geographical Association}} 4. ^{{cite news|publisher=CBS News|last=Bicknell|first=Bob|title=We'll miss you, Little Dicker|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/well-miss-you-little-dicker/|date=October 25, 2004}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Wadsworth|first=Mark|title=River Uck (new sign, 2011)|url=http://markwadsworth.blogspot.ca/2011/09/river-uck.html|work=YPP Mark Wadsworth (blog)|publisher=Blogspot|accessdate=24 February 2013}} 6. ^{{cite book|author1=Neil Gaiman|author2=Terry Pratchett|title=Good Omens|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B7FL6zzN_FsC&pg=PA196|date=22 November 2011|publisher=Transworld|isbn=978-1-4481-1023-0|page=196}} 1 : Rivers of East Sussex |
