I love the British. Rulers of understatement. We cant say "Their roof was completely destroyed". We have to say "Badly damaged"

So a mini tidal wave rockets down her street and she stops to comment on a flying trampoline :rotfl:

Was pitch black on my way to work at 5.30am
Howling winds and driving rain
Couldnt see bugger all
Thought I forgot to put the lights on but no

Still got to work ok with just a branch in the front grille

Stoopid weather
Only lasted 10 mins or so

And we didnt get a tornado - just crap weather
lol

I have taken precautions
Have labelled up all my fence panels with name and address so can get them back

:rotfl: :rotfl:

At least your tie didn't get ruined.

Tie ?
On a binman ?

The only time I have ever seen one is to hold their trousers up

:rotfl:

Sorry Kapitan couldnt resist
