Weather is fairly bad here. The thing i want to know is why does a bit of rain and wind suddenly make some people awful drivers? Had several people pull out on me while im going near the limit and their going 45 on a motorway :confused: :)

That's what the other lanes are for, so you can go faster than sensible ;)

It got a bit windy here in sunny Sandy, loud enough to wake me up but no more than that.

Re: Severe storm on the way

More like storm in a tea cup. The British media do love a crisis don't they ?

We have no real understanding of what a real storm is,what a real flood is or for that matter,what a real earthquake is.

We live in such a dull, boring,grey little country where nothing ever happens and therefore we latch onto any little story and make it a big one so that we can wail and gnash our teeth if our chimney pot gets blown off the roof or something..

Re: Severe storm on the way

bbc 2 spent 30 mins off out and about trying to find someone/something that died or hurt its self in the storms after learning about a few fences getting blown down they they went onto to see if the met office had over reacted..

anyway

Well, fingers crossed that, if someones chimney pot gets blown down anywhere near you, it doesn't land on your head...

Far be it from me to presume that you had - that's why I just said 'someones' ;)

Re: Severe storm on the way

Thankfully this seems to have been a bit of a non event which i am glad about. Hopefully it will continue that way and we won't see any headlines of death and injuries.

Thank you.
Would have been better without the double glazing in the way, but I think the spinaker owners would have objected to me breaking it :D

The clouds were fantastic, took the shot with auto bracketing and processed as HDR, then tweaked it a little.

The drive home was horrendus, really bad rain and a load on lunatics on the M3.
Stopped at Fleet services just to let some of the rain blow over.

stoped for the rain ? is that what they call an all day breakfast darn sarf :D:D:D
