I know.

We lost power at 2.45am and I had to take the kids to school at 10 after waiting for the road to be cleared of trees.

I'm currently sitting in a branch of McDonalds having breakfast.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!

Yes. It's moved on a bit quicker than predicted. Hopefully the linesmen can get on with repairing the leccy now. It was SSE men who were removing the trees from our road this morning, which was encouraging. When we had the storms a couple of years ago there was so much damage we never saw anyone from SSE in our area for about 2 days.

Not at the moment. Their ultras are still busy insisting the falling oil price is a Westminster conspiracy.

Yes well if I'd based a whole load of costly promises on a the value of something the price of which is entirely beyond my control, I'd be keen to hide my embarrassment and blame someone else too...
