[steveo]

Be careful everyone

[Earl Aelfheah]

I panic bought a coffee earlier.

My bed linen was flapping in an horrific way earlier, the fire brigade have been alerted.

[maxxi]

I have secured the ears of my basset hound.

If it all goes according to this thread and all is copacetic tomorrow, let the Bob Dylan song 'Idiot Wind' be our soundtrack

Geez, that Dylan gets it right every time, don't he?

[red devil]

I think we should all take the day off...just to annoy MrBen

Refreshingly correct use of "an".

I saw waitrose being blown from its putative site in ED all the way to Peckham.

I'm all sealed in, and won't be surfacing til 10 am tomorrow morning.

Good luck everyone.

Is this really all the wind we are going to have?

HELP HELP WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

Is this a storm in a teacup. Just saw a BBC newsman in Cardiff interviewed in a Berghaus jacket, looked like his hair was dry and unmoving but someone had brushed his jacket with warm olive oil to give it a wet glazed effect. Nothing happening, go to bed, no storm coming.

We cannot have 80 mph Winds in East Dulwich....

It is a Max 20 MPH Zone.

Foxy.

[steveo]

I might have to upgrade the breeze warning to 'stiff'

[muffins78]

Well part of my roof or tiles just come off and narrowly missed window I standing at! It's here I'd say! Be careful!

Now fence coming off!

[????]

They should have shown 'those' clips of Michael Fish on the news as the ACTUAL weather forecast this time and sent back these weekends ones to 1987...quite windy I'd say, but a hurricane? Even modern weather is crap....

[Mick Mac]

Our bins haven't moved, never mind fences.

[StraferJack]

couple of small trees/bushes on east Dulwich Grove out on street and lots of branches have been torn down.

Couldn't use one of the walkways at elephant and Castle as a whole tree had fallen and blocked it off

So looks like we missed the worst of it - but it wasn't nothing

[steveo]

I can see one of my pot plants has fallen over.

When do you think it will be safe to go outside and straighten it?

[*Bob*]

Bins down in Friern Road.

Please use alternative routes.

[Louisa]

God this just keeps getting worse, I'm starting to worry about my gate staying on its hinges.

Louisa.

[Mick Mac]

On the bus I saw there was a big tree down on Barry road, but helpfully it sacrificed itself without blocking the road or pavement.

I have to disagree here. An horrific would only be correct if you were pronouncing it 'orrific (not sounding the 'h') which you well maybe be - so don't drop your h's please. If you are pronouncing the 'h' it should be a horrific.

Thank you. As you were.

[El Pibe]

In fact 'a' and 'an' are correct in this instance.

I'm do feel tha 'an' is a bit pompous though, and agree it only sounds ok if you're dropping that aitch.
