    I've been offering, in the politest and least patronising of tones, natch, to help others move any outside furniture to safety. After all, we can't have other people's stuff in danger of clattering into other people's windows now, can we??

          Indeed, particularly when it might be one of my windows! Here is an account of the meteorlogical conditions behind the Abercynon Tornado - and how spooky it was exactly 100 years ago! http://www.geologywales.co.uk/storms/1913.htm
          I had a Dyson once, I'm afraid it was very short lived and would have taken ££££s to repair so it was ditched. I hope you have better luck with yours 8obs.

                I love your mind ..... and the way it works! The design of Dysons is magnificent, I must admit but somehow, I just cannot visualise you being an ardent vacuumer, if you now tell me you wear Marigolds to do the washing up and put a coaster under your cuppa then all my illusions will be shattered .....

                      I see that Southern Railway have decided they're not even going to attempt to run any service at all before 9am at the earliest tomorrow morning because of potential hazards on the lines.

                      Is this the first time trains have been cancelled because of the wrong kind of weather forecast?

                        That's probably because you leave it all to your Filipinno lady?

                        I don't think I dare reply to 8obs now he's removed the Dyson from the mantlepiece ....

                          It's now getting very windy here and there has already been some blustery showers. The area covered by the Great Storm on the BBC weather map may or may not be over here, difficult to tell. Very strong winds can punch out our fence panels (one once blew down the road) so anything can happen. Perhaps we will be glad that a neighbour persuaded us to cut down a very large tree in our garden last summer (they paid as it was overhanging).

                            East Midlands Trains have so far been content to give a warning of possible disruption.

                                I was talking about 8tho actually; but in any event no Marigolds here; and she's Portuguese
