Just panels or something else?

It's the whole lot, it's 9ft high and the posts have snapped. No panels, it is vertical fencing slats.

It’s days like this (and many others) that I’m so glad I retired early.

Hearing the wind batter the house in the night, knowing that I don’t have to get up in the morning.

Great feeling.

Back of ours went in November during the storms and one of the sides a few weeks ago. Pain in the arse but luckily neighbours are gooduns and sorted quite quickly.

England has more tornados per year per area than the US.

They're just tiny so we don't notice them.

What are you a fucking meteorologist now, what the fuck does anything have to do with tornadoes? Who needs tornadoes? I need my cock, man. Everything's a fucking travesty with you, nic

We don't have more tornadoes than America anyway.

We have more per area, which is a bit different.

Fences and sheds everywhere this morning, miles worse than Friday.

Kinell. 

Each to their own, but I've always advocated planting hedges. So long as they're not massive they don't blow over.

Can even buy fairly tall plants and still be cheaper than a full fencing. Much healthier for the garden too.

Concrete or Metal? Get it to the scrapyard if the latter, weigh it in, curry's and sundries all around 30 quids worth.

It totally is, but a fun fact none the less.

I didn’t say that.

I expect that there’s plenty of diversity at the Met Office.

There is way more sensationalism in the media when bad weather hits the south. Think that what BDs point was.

What are you a fucking weatherman now? I don't need your opinion on the southern weather coverage I need my cock.

No, I was merely pointing out that either Eunice or Franklin was mistitled for Bolton.

the weather or the thread?

I'll wager it's both.

[stevieb]

Is that it now. 

Can we start looking forward to a March heatwave?

It’s back on Wednesday. 50mph winds for us not sure what it’s like down there 

been a wonderful warm spring day today here. Not a cloud in the sky once the overnight monsoon has cleared away. Lovely pleasant early evening being taken for a walk by the dog 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Another day covered in shite. Mud almost sucking my boots off. 

Fucked.

Ready for my grub.

It’s been relentless up here really almost weekly strong winds since back end of November. Had the odd nice day here and there but these winds have been a mainstay and it’s fucking hard work can’t imagine what it’s like being outdoors grafting in it tbh

Must be bloody hard work, I was only kidding.

I believe its red if there is a significant danger to life. I believe it made the news as it was the first red weather warning in London since weather warnings came in, and given London has a shit load of people in it and it never normally get such warnings that it made news. 

Trust me, I still have arguments with folks saying that the general storm of 87 was a dusting up north. And sod Sevenoaks. They deserve all they get.
