it's great to find that one special person that you want to annoy for the rest of your life
I have a soft spot for the wife, it's a peat bog just outside Ardross
Still Yes Highland

Re: Rain!!!!
Reckon he means Dottingham (or summat simular) I'm just trying to place the pic you posted , but it's a few years since I were there last (unless you consider last Sunday at the City hospital on Hucknall road, just visiting one of the grandkids who's in for a week)

See the post from "Red Mick" about 2/3ds down this page.

I drove home through this storm, http://www.weather-uk.com/hampstead/page3.html - I had a Mini-van at the time, Minis were renowned for failing in very wet weather because the distributor is right at the front behind the rad grille, I used to seal mine with a plasticky ignition sealer spray and it was fine but there were many very expensive cars conked out at the side of the road that evening.

Re: Rain!!!!
Piddling down here at lunch time, along with lightning and some severe cracks of thunder (few cracks of thunder tonight), still more to come methinks, Woods at Kirrie hill felt like walking through the jungle and the grass was steaming just after the rain stopped.....hmmm not wholly sure that kirrie hill was NOT once a volcano.... 
Gone M.I.A.

Re: Rain!!!!
Had about 2 or 3 hours of sustained thunder and severe lightning (whole sky lit up, multiple forks and multiple simultaneous strikes, deafening cracks of thunder) last night and more seemingly on the way for Thursday or Friday night

Re: Rain!!!!
It was meant to be here again for the next 2 days, but today has been tropical sunshine again - not sure they know what's going on. I know why though......I'm selling something that requires sunshine, which explains a lot. Been in the local ads, not a single peep of interest.
