Strong winds Monday

Anyone seen the panic merchants stripping the shop shelves yet ? The ones who buy enough food to feed a small country at the first sign of a bit of bad weather.

Well it looks like there will be no train into London for me to catch tomorrow, they've said they won't be starting running until after 9am to allow them to check the line.

 

 

I take it they will be trotting out the old "Leaves on the track " excuse .

Went to Morrisons early for Chocolate supplies and it was manic

Come on you lot man up a bit,anyone who was around in1962 will have lived through a real Sheffield storm,i lived on Shirecliffe then and the slates were blowing off the roofs ten to dozen and all i could think about was my motorbike stood in the back yard so no more to do got up dragged my tired body outside ,dodge the flying slate and pushed it back into the entry between the houses,went back to bed and nodded off listening to the slates sliding down the roof.The next morning there were garages upside down with cars still in them, most people had big holes in the roof, wreckage everywhere and not forgetting those poor people at Skyedge with their homes gone.What did we do just got on with things and did the best we could.we we had none or very little warning but at the end of it all people rallied round and got stuck in.Whats happened to you lot today get some beef stew and dumplings inside you instead of big macs.If the buses wernt running people walked to work i did on many occasions from Shirecliffe to the bottom of Manor Lane ,wish I could do it now.

 

I remember that night in 1962 very well ( I was 7 years old at the time ) My dad who was a self employed taxi driver had gone to work but he had to return home as it was too dangerous to drive in. When I got up the next morning there was a complete garage in the middle of the road ! This was up the top of Shiregreen. Walking through Woolley Woods afterwards there were loads of massive trees down.

Why do

I find it so funny when that area of the country gets lousy weather?

 

Because your an idiot?

[strongsteve 10]

Stocked up on bread, milk, tins of beans, corned beef etc....

 

Survival rations that should last 6 months and so should see out the storm.

 

Needed 4 trollyloads for all the bread though

When you have finished reading that copy of the Daily Mail, perhaps you'd like to remind yourself that its 2013 and not 1962

 

Society has changed
