The weather

[Champ]

I reckon you'll be getting a call from intrepid news reporters shortly. That looks terrible.

 

Meantime, after winding me up all week about this massive dump of snow heading our way all we've got is a bit of rain. Why do they do this to me?

[Jairzinho]

Was the best part of 25 degrees yesterday. 

 

Pissing it down and ten degrees lower today though.

[Rico1304]

Quite a few trees down near me.

[Dougie Do'ins]

The way the BBC are reporting it you think we were on the verge of a fucking typhoon. It's a bit fucking windy and rainy. Deal with it.

Have a look on the echo website, there's a video from Albert Dock that looks not far off.

Just heard some women going "oh my god, it's dead windy!"

 

I think the clue is in the word "storm"...

[Tony Moanero]

Bend over and pull your kecks down, fart over her, shout "windy" and run off.

See how far you can hit her from.

It's pretty mad like.

#doris. Words fail me

It's pretty mad like.

 

It must be fucking bad if he's having to pay £4 for a cup of coffee to get away from it.

[Jay86]

It's not that bad where I'm working and I'm 60ft in the air, big windy but no where near as bad as they're making out.

Bit wet and windy here. Had to put the Berghaus waterproof coat on and some bikes have fallen over.

Take it off here mate, my boss might see that I haven't got my hard hat and high viz on.

[manwiththestick]

Looks like someone's tidied Runcorn up.

[Paul]

Massive tree down round the corner from ours, broken fences everywhere and several cars damaged by flying wheelie bins.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Few big signs down round by ours and some of the 20mph speed signs on the corners of the side streets, which were previously cemented into the pavement at 90 degree upright angles, have shifted and are leaning quite badly at 50/60ish degree angles.

 

And one of the side streets was police cordened off earlier. Not sure why, presume somethings fell or is about to and is a public safety risk.

 

Popped out to the shops for lunch earlier and it was Usain Bolt like. I did the usual 4-5 minute walk there and back in about half the time. Fear and wind assisted.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Shouldn't really laugh, but.....

Won't do much for their disability claim at Mann Island all that running at speed. (That looks like where they were headed!)

[Furmedge]

Some people go over the top with it all. Our place has closed one of the offices due to falling debris so have told workers to either work from home or find another site to work from. Some frantic woman has come working here and cannot wait to tell everyone about the panels she saw flying off the building (it's some signage about 12 inches high) and how the office will probably be closed for a week while they fix it (it won't), how someone could have been killed (they couldn't) and how the place will be crawling with workies trying to fix it tomorrow (there won't). Plus everyone she's calling this afternoon is getting a detailed course of events, and I've heard the same shitehawk story about 16 times now.

to be fair you can be a torso and they'll still sign you off.

We've had some scaffolding go down at one of our sites, someone is definitely getting fired for that.

Wasn't the wind. They moved Pete Prices desk
