Rotting Broccoli stems

Please also see this post in diseases section.... Need help fast!
We have older (1 yr) and newer (4 months) broccoli plants in the garden and ALL but all have gone soggy in the main/middle stalk. The crop seems to have dropped but we are still picking/eating until the plants keel over.
Does anyone know what this might be?
(I have said to other half - who is the garden dept - that it could be 'too much water from all the recent downpours'. They are not so convinced, but for me, a plant that has become over watered/water logged could do this no? The ground has gone dry since the heavy rains of last month have passed and we are watering again, but the rot has not gone (& I secretly doubt it will).
Anyone else have this problem?
