What a nightmare about your roof Muffins 78,and thanks for the photo Ian R.


Does anyone know how long this is forecast to last for?


Also - is the South Circ open and clear does anyone know? Need to get as far as Dulwich College..

Overground is suspended until 9 I think!


They are saying only last for few more hours, it's prob any damage afterwards which will cause problems!


Thank you too, I should have said though, it was more of warning to be careful out there!!!!

xcweather reported 45mph, gusting to 66mph, at London City Airport for the half hour to 06:50. No idea if there are any more bits of the tail to pass through in the next hour or so, but they have it a lot quieter at 09:00. It looks to me as if the forecasters and National Rail got it just about right: several surface sections of the underground are reported halted because of fallen trees.

"Is there any evidence of double decker buses running?


Hubbie is still insisting on getting into work early despite the warnings and thinks the

Live Bus checker is accurate!"


Buses all running fine - I left at 6:50 and had no problems. And Live Bus is as close to accurate as you can get so I'd say he's right

great big beautiful tree snapped in half on dovedale rd, neighbour's car flattened (literally):-( . was driving wee one around this morning in an attempt to get him to sleep and there didn't seem to be too much more damage, although it did occur to me how difficult it us to avoid tree lined roads in this area! the reason we love it here I guess!

Is the worst over now? Every time I think its calm, it appears to pick up again? I see some pictures on BBC news on Herne Hill, they've had some tree damage too!


Just also saw Southwark out cleaning up some of the debris already. Fair play.

So a bit of wind and rain the odd tree comes down etc etc... I do often have to bite my tongue when it comes to British weather stories. We even have a local councillor offering live updates on the situation. I guess it's good preparation for the half inch of snow we may see in January.

Apparently 220000 homes without power in south of england according to Sky


If you haven't been affected then well done, bully for you and be glad


the constant sniping and cynicism is pissing me right off tho


It's grown--ups jobs to monitor and track things like this and warn accordingly - it doens't guarantee anything, but it does allow people to take precautions if the worst happens.


The worst hasn't happened and people seem to enjoy taking the piss about it


fucks sake

Yeah it was a lot calmer than I was expecting. But council seem v well prepared, which is great. Closing down rail services may seem extreme on the face of it, but would be irresponsible to run trains full of passengers when there's a clear risk of an accident.

    • DR Yes he had not been very well for about the last 2 or 3 years but was making some progress, we use to see him down LL getting his shopping and stop and catch up on all matters Ed. I Pm'd just before Christmas and received no reply which was not like him so I did have concerns about his health but I had no other means of contacting him. R.i.P Foxy Bob S 
    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct. Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London | Labour | The Guardian
    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)  
    • Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.
