Can I just remind you of you taking the 'swear', suggesting there's no sun oop north?
It's slightly hazy but incredibly bright & about 30degrees where I am right now!

Just had a quick look at the Isle of Wight site and they are showing a lot of activity oop North.

As at 17.12.

Just got the emails through regarding the above, so I've fired up the IOW web site! Wow - it's all kicking off close by, but so far I've neither seen nor heard anything (Just West of Hull). Certainly not a good night to be wearing copper Y Fronts! A few strikes towards the East coast, and certainly Lincolnshire, but the wind appears to be blowing from the NE at the moment, so we'll see.

Do you go to the same clubs as me?

westie383 · 28-07-2008,06:33 PM

Certainly not - it's just that I know how to 'conduct' myself!

We have a massive storm overhead here in Maidenhead Berks right now.

The Storm radars are NOT picking them up !

I've noticed that before,also. In the past we've had storms very close and have seen strikes, but they never showed up on the website's screen? Looks manic at the moment though.
