What a sh*t journey home i have just had, it took me 2 hours 15 minutes to do a 20 minute journey.
It included
lots of people who dont know how to drive
lots of not letting in (some on my behalf)
lots of swearing (all in my behalf)
lots of closed roads due to fallen objects
Isnt weather a b***h sometimes, wind is now my new enemy !!!

Well its been extremely windy here today just like many parts of the country. Dad came within less than a minute of being hit on the head by a tile from off the house roof (it fell off about 20 seconds after he left the spot it hit in the back yard). A colleague of mine had to take a diversion after the road from Shrewsbury to Baschurch was closed due to the felling of a 200-year-old cedar tree. Most motorways today have had parts closed due to high crosswinds, limiting our ability to respond to call-outs...
I've been sat in the office all day today drinking tea and marvelling at the developing news stories tbh. What a day!!
On my way to work though the car was rocking about a bit when at standstill - can tell I have stiffer springs fitted as it doesn't rock very much any more
Take care out there people!!

Well I had to go up to Warrington yesterday for a meeting. Not a problem getting up there (although it was scary with the winds rocking the car - not my car though 4 of us went up in someone elses Almera).
It was coming home that was the trouble. Its about 80 miles back to Telford and can be done in about 1 hour 20. It took us an hour to get down 1 junction, cuz we had to go through Warrington Centre cus a lorry had over turned on the motorway. Once we were back on the Motorway it was fine, although we did see 2 lorries over turned on the Northbound carriageway, so glad we werent going North . There was another lorry overturned on our carriage way 2 junctions before we were due to come off, so we had divert down some dodgy country lanes, luckly no trees had fallen over.
Oh Yeah, when we got back to the office we saw some tiles had come off the roof and smacked into 3 cars parked out side. Nasty dents on em. The owners were not happy at all Just spoke to the owner of one, she took car for estimate today and they reckon its a total resplay, as it caught quite a few body panels
