Maybe this should be in the grumpy old men section but; I live on the south downs and this morning walking the dogs you could hardly stand and the rain was stinging your face, we trudged on for about an hour until all of us had had enough. We get home drenched. Within 10 minutes the rain had stopped the sun had come out and the wind had dropped, sometimes I think I must have upset the big man upstairs. Bow down I started with nothing and still have most of it left!

Good grief the M80 looks horrendous... Shocked All it needs now is some cocky Defender owner to "respectfully" cruise on past like nothing is wrong... Thumbs Up

Yup power out on Anglesey. Doglet asleep on his bed, empty tripe kong under his chin, dreaming... Dogs life!

Even here in mildest softest Kent its blowing a gale.

Workshop roof keeps sounding like its going to take off and the wind is howling down the yard.

Part of a wall from a factory building has collapsed onto 5 or 6 cars in the public car park by work. Some people are going to get quite a shock. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Here in Hereford the police have shut the bridge South to North on the A49 because the canopy roof on the newly built Asda petrol station is in danger of taking off!

Now that's going to cause a bit of a traffic jam Whistle

Tragically, a young lass has been killed in Wolverhampton by the sound of it.

We've lost a fence section, some roof tiles and the roof off the treehouse. Moved the 110 away from any potential falling debris!

I've been turfed off my train at Staines...fallen tree ahead blocking the line.

Looks like travel chaos all over.

Shame about the girl killed - I am sure there will be more accidents and incidents in tonight's rush hour... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
