Wind starting to pick up a bit now in Southampton, mid 20s gusting to mid 40s mph. Supposed to gust to mid 50s for a while in a few hours.

On the north Wales coast by family, just up the road from the place that shall not be named, they've had ~30/55mph wind since mid afternoon.

It's bin day tomorrow. So means lots of bins blown over and contents spilled everywhere. People need to crush cans and plastic bottles to get the air out, which stops them rolling about. Plus - can put more stuff in recycling bin!

When council changed from bags to bins - we were told not to crush cans and plastic bottles. Hang on a minute! The bin lorry does crush them. (Shakes head)

The cynical part in me suspects the council don't want you to crush them because you can fit more in the bins that way. They probably pay the contractor by weight.
