Oh no could that mean a national bacon shortage?

Do not joke about such things. Not. Funny.

I don't doubt there has been a lot of hype - they'd rather hype it and be wrong, that underplay it and be wrong.

But you are quite right, in comparison to other events, this is pretty minor. We're not soft though, it's a national obsession, the weather!

I will wait and see - BUT we will both know if it has been hyped by tomorrow.
I still stand by the fact that it is nothing much - probably.
It is not like the bush fires in the Blue Mountains or Katrina or some Siberian snow storm.
The British are by and large just soft.

Don't forget fukushima and tsunami's.. I think you guys down under will be just fine.. Im the south east of America and have survived through cat 4 hurricanes and EF 3 tornado's.. Not going to be such a big deal. The media hypes the smallest things here now after Katrina it gave them the excuse they were wanting.

Dropped 3mbar in 90 minutes !

20.50 dropped another 2 mbar

South Essex here .. Getting a bit blowy not as much as the local girls though.

According to met office radar we should start getting some rain from 2100

Good job I work in tesco ... Oh wait we will have panic buyers tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is the day we did not think about yesterday..,.blow billy wind,no deaths and a big insurance claim.

This bit made me chuckle on the BBC Weather Warning page page:

This warning has been updated to bring forward the end time

End time?

We went on that BBC site to read that! Who would have thought.....the 'end time'!!! Very funny!

This is what we're getting right now according to the guys in Bracknell.....


Looks like only Selsey Bill and Anglesea/Menai Straits are getting it REALLY badly.

Does this mean our electricity will get cheaper, spinning all those turbines on our horzion?

|N|o? Its still going up 10% you say?

I am jacks lack of surprise

No doubt the uless peices of crap will break as they wont be made for that "type" of wind and our bill will go up 20% to replace them (IE line the pockets of the energy barons).
