October 16, 20178 yr Author Its here now gonzo. I've packed in pruning a tree as my crimper was pinching. You best see a doctor for that mate ....it's just landing here now. Proper swirly number
October 16, 20178 yr Wife's grandad lived down in surrey. Had a bit of land with horses. The storm brought shit loads of trees down and as far as I'm aware they're still lying in the rough paddock to this day, albeit a bit decayed.
October 16, 20178 yr 30 years since the big storm who Remembers that one Don't remember it doing anything up here. I slept through it. Darn sarf got proper twatted though
October 16, 20178 yr 30 years since the big storm who Remembers that one I drove down from an overnight stay near Northampton to Crystal Palace for the AAA 6-stage road relay, Although we went round the South Circular there were loads of diversions and trees down everywhere. The course was within the CP National Sports Centre and had to altered because of fallen trees, as priority for attention were public roads.
October 16, 20178 yr we were on holiday in newquay, stayed at the headlands hotel, thought the hotel was going to collapse, scary stuff..
October 16, 20178 yr I'm flying to Dublin first thing tomorrow then driving to a meeting in somewhere called Offally which is doubtless a sinister backwater populated by toothless simpletons, Tarmac experts and Sinn Fein types. I'm rather hoping the runway has blown away and I don't have to go
October 16, 20178 yr It's eerie 'ere in Leicester Aye, it was apocalyptic here a few miles north. Genuinely weird. Mind you, Leicestershire is genuinely odd at the best of times....
October 16, 20178 yr Aye, it was apocalyptic here a few miles north. Genuinely weird. Mind you, Leicestershire is genuinely odd at the best of times.... Stayed for a few days in a cottage in the sticks in Leicestershire a few years ago. Had an almighty thunder storm and rain from the Bible. Must be something about the place.

Plus, you’ll be pleased to know it’s in the midlands and you have to go on the M6 to it, so home from home

Plus, you’ll be pleased to know it’s in the midlands and you have to go on the M6 to it, so home from home Going to Birr, which according to that article has loads of power lines down. As for the M6 bit, well that's just fucking swell. Oh, and my flight number coming back is FR666 The omens are all there.
October 16, 20178 yr Aye, it was apocalyptic here a few miles north. Genuinely weird. Mind you, Leicestershire is genuinely odd at the best of times....Hinckley is the oddest place I've been to in the UK And I've been to Dove Holes
October 16, 20178 yr I worked in Athlone near there a good few years back, they were only just building the bastard motorway then, took hours to get there from Dublin. Anyway, you will be pleased to hear that they are an odd bunch round them parts!
October 16, 20178 yr Going to Birr, which according to that article has loads of power lines down. As for the M6 bit, well that's just fucking swell. Oh, and my flight number coming back is FR666 The omens are all there. If it carries on like this you'll not be flying anywhere. Dogs went out for a mooch a while back and haven't stopped twatting each other since. Seems like the wind has sent them potty.
October 16, 20178 yr Author Hinckley is the oddest place I've been to in the UK And I've been to Dove Holes Aye I used to go that to a burgess ceiling tile place. Proper odd place. Big swingers hotel on one that big long A road through the middle of there and melton mobwray mind.
October 16, 20178 yr Don't remember it doing anything up here. I slept through it. Darn sarf got proper twatted though The "darn sarf" bit is the only reason we know anything about it. I doubt a bit of weather up here would even make local news, never mind national.
