im in the attic here and we just lost a roof slate :eek:

, it sounds like a small hurricane outside and its been going for the last ten hours. weird weird weather. it should be icy and frozen out there at this time of year, not autumnal rains and mad mad wind.

Same here, fed up of going out every hour to pick up the empty bins which seem to like trying to escape from our garden.

I prefer to have free range bins, I don't believe in hurting innocent garbage consumers.

It's actually quite funny seeing some of the place they've ended up in, on ended up on top of the bushes

I'm in Crewe, Cheshire and the wind is getting up again, it was bad last night too, this morning the little girls slide was at the bottom of the garden.

I went to let the dog out and it looked at me as much to say are you having a laugh mate!

The news yesterday said there was a gale warning, there was a big weather from coming in due to arrive today IIRC.
