I am in Nottingham at the moment and a storm is passing over. I am not joking it is near pitch black, in all my days i have never seen it this dark apart from the eclipse in the late 80's. :surprised: :scared:
-
maybe its the end of the world :scared:
-
I hope not, it's maca rooney cheese for tea tonight. :party:
-
My favourite (Maccaroni Cheese not thunderstorms)!! Got to be served with lashings of tomato ketchup :drool:
-
just wondering if this has any connection with the fact that supposedly a sandstorm has blown over our drizzly isles?
there was loads of sand like material on my car today, and apparently loads of people all over the country are reporting waking up to loads of sand on their cars too

Yup, same here with sand on the paintwork...

Yeah, my car looks a bloody disgrace today. Looks like I have navigated the Sahara.

Looks like it's been well sandblasted in Manchester!!!
No storm tho, just very humid and sticky!

Had this yesterday in Sussex, car looked a right mess!! Hosepipe ban has been lifted now down here so at least cleaning it didn't take long!!
:happy2:

I'm driving 300 miles tomorrow, with no doubt another 500 or so in the next few days, so I'm not even going to bother!!!
-
Shame I'm in Scotland TC you could've called in and had Mac Cheese for lunch too just incase it is the Armageddon lol

Was really bad here in Birmingham at 11am as well. So dark it was like night time. Rain so heavy there were flash floods everywhere! The most insane storm I have experienced in the UK!!

Same here, I can't recall ever hearing 25mins of constant thunder with no rain or lightning! It was very 'End of Days' like! :laugh:

More sand deposit on the car. Looks like the sand-cloud reached Edinburgh.
-
Had nothing down by London, been a humid day today.
Had the sand on my car first thing this morning, but no rain at all today.
I always miss the fun stuff.

I was on the beach in Lee on Solent eating Ice cream and enjoying the view over to the Isle of Wight with blue Sky's today :signLOL:
what a contrast from the sunny South of England..

Time for a rant me thinks....
Something that reeeeally gets on my wick in this country is the fact we do generally get crappy weather yet when it gets that slight bit worse than crappy the whole country seems seems to fall to bits. Airports shut, roofs falling in, floods, schools shut n so on. The government issue a warning n then go all limp noodle. Yet you look at canada n the US for example who get it much worse than us jus crack on with it. N when it all passes we get 'well it took us by surprise, we werent ready for it' from our gracious leaders.
HEEEELLLLLO! FFS! Spend a few quid gettin ready for the unexpected. Really a scary thought wen you look at the bigger picture cos we're really quite vulnerable when the weather changes so how would we cope with a large scale act of terrorism? Or maybe if the banking systems were to av an 'eppy' n shut down. Holla all you natwest bankers!
British resilience.... Pfffft total joke annnnnnd WUSAAAAAAA :innocent:

^^^^ You rant away there fella :congrats:
The wife and I spent today (our anniversary) in Brighton doing a bit of shopping in The Laines, lunch in the Cote Resturant (outside in their garden), then strolled along the pier and finally listened to some bands in Royal Pavilion Gardens, oh and it was 28 degrees, a perfect day.
Sorry for you peeps up north!!
:happy2:
