Well,
“code red” today in some parts of the UK.

Good luck today. On the positive side that’s a good excuse to stay inside—in the garage with your TR.

Cheers,
Waldi

I never did get round to making that kite - apparently they only cost 2d

 

Roger

I thought the 2d was for bags ?

Ian: closing schools is probably a sensible precaution as trees will be brought down, lorries and vans have been blown over already, tiles and slates (and chimneys) may come off, and lots of debris will be flung about.  I cannot remember any previous RED Weather Warning, so best to play safe.

Our grandchildren's Primary School is closed.

I have tied all our wheelie bins together and have secured them to the wall of the house because they have a tendency to march themselves down the path in such conditions - Daleks!

Pretty rough down here too, funny that with all this wind all of the windmills around (And from the top of our yard you can see at least 30 dotted about) have stopped due to overspeed condition, so much for renewable energy.

Oh and my dogs dont care about the weather!

Hi Stuart, not with my job I go out fully loaded to the hub and then come back fully loaded so most of the time I’m running at 44 ton, but when it’s windy it still moves about. If the other lads with the standard trailers are empty they travel with curtains strapped at the back end. But then have to be careful that the wind doesn’t get under the roof and rip it off ( only very thin alloy with pot rivets ) they are very flimsy when the curtains are not closed as we don’t have central bars to hold the roof up in the middle now all part of less weight more goods.

Know the feeling Mike, few years ago I used to double drive with one of my friends when he was really busy to help him out and coming down from Fraserburgh right on the weight at 44t full of frozen mackerel in a fridge I was in the inside lane and the back of the trailer was in the middle lane with the wind!
