[Sussex] A bit brisk tomorrow... *** Met Office RED weather warning ***

[PILTDOWN MAN]

What are you watching - I'm alright Jackanory?

Thing is where I live it normally only takes someone to sneeze for the power to go.

I was getting upset as up to 1pm not so much as a flicker. Off now though

I am in Warwick and strong winds with us now. My neighbour and I have just agreed that if our fence collapses we will split the cost. No idea whose fence it is but seems reasonable.

Really bad timing for the big winds to blow as schools are all open and it is brutal out there. My kids usually cycle the 2 miles to school but walked today so I can pick them up rather than them try and get home on foot. Hosing it down too.

After two and a half hours I appear to have a stable power supply again. (I 'aint telling work for a bit though. )

Chunk of the neighbours tree has just landed on my roof. Not entirely sure what to do about it as don't want it causing further damage. Have tried calling the neighbour but only got voicemail so assume she's at work.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but this wind is probably doing thousands of pounds worth of improvements to Selhurst Park.

Have you tried making a trunk call?

Mrs V and her pal have been virtually marooned in Hastings. I was unable to contact her for 4 hours as they had power cuts and no internet. They were sheltering in a pub that was not properly open as they had no power to run the till or light the place, they were unable to get cash because all the cashpoints had no juice either. They have power now and are going to stay another night somewhere there as there are no trains/buses out !

Good news for Palace fans.

“Strong winds have blown down parts of Selhurst park football ground causing £3,000 worth of improvements”

Croydon though - so they’ve probably all been smoking Spice

Is it really the wind, or are they pretending to be Zaha?

You need to speak to your insurers - tough as it may sound it’s not your neighbours problem. One of our tress fell on the neighbours house during the storm of ‘87. They tried to claim from us for the damage caused but failed as they could not show that the tree was in a dangerous condition prior to the storm and that if it were we should have been aware.

Anybody else watching Big Jet TV live coverage of planes trying to land at Heathrow,

https://youtu.be/vPQh1FrbOc0

I flew back from Oz the day of the great storm in 87. The pilot tried to land the 747 twice before giving up and diverting to Manchester. We had no idea the scale of the storm at the time and the captain with typical British understatement just said 'It's a little breezy in London so we've decided to fly to Manchester'.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Wonder where they got that idea from ��

 

[Moshe Gariani]

So teaching online instead of face to face is a day off? So, every person that works from home is having a day off rather than working then?

Sorry to have whooshed you.

I hoped my parody of NSC's Higher Education Correspondent was obvious - but appreciate it wasn't...
