Sorry for lowering the tone but it's not normal for old ladies to be wet and have non-stop wind in the morning? Is it?

Not sure how much compensation you can get for living in Eastbourne, presume it is a fair amount...

And to get the thread back onto the original point we are currently getting the odd gust of wind here in Sullington, yet again the Met Office have gone over the top - I blame that Michael Fish Myself.

More than the odd gust here in North Wales I can assure you!
Since they introduced this childish idea of naming "storms" the Met Office has been struck with hysteria. They had a spokeswoman on Radio 4 this morning defending the naming of storms by saying that people were discussing them more on Twitter (with no data to back up that assertion). And so what? Probably most are just taking the piss about the names. Doris? Really?
More nannying from the nanny state. It is "a bit blustery". It's not a tropical storm or a hurricane. It's quite warm here in West Sussex and a bright sunny day (but a bit blustery).
If they want to give every blustery day a name, won't be long before we hit Zebedee.

Yes it's windy - a few small branches have blown off trees and the odd bin has been blown over
We've had a fair bit of rain too
It IS February - one expects it

This, totally.
As ever, it seems to be something we've copied from America. Now they DO get some proper serious storms over there. The Midwest and Minneapolis is about to be clobbered by a blizzard that's going to dump anything between 4-12 inches over tonight and tomorrow, with temperatures hitting -8. But I don't even think they've bothered naming it.
Us though - we get a blustery day with a bit of rain and snow mixed in up north, and its actually given a name and treated like its some kind of event. Laughable. The Met Office seriously want to give their collective heads a wobble. I guess it gets the Mail and the Express frothing for a few days in the run-up (as if they ever need any encouragement), but honestly. The average yank would be laughing up their sleeves at our "weather warnings".

Trains are totally ****ed!
Every service from London Bridge, Victoria, Waterloo and Blackfriars is currently showing as delayed.

We used to have wet and windy days and people were advised to hold onto their hats. Nowadays, a bit of wind and rain is called a storm and people are warned not to venture outdoors unless they have to. Talk about melodrama.

The wind is really whipping one up in Crawley. The cover has flown off my garden table, I'm not going out there! Cats find it great watching from the windows with everything flying about.

I guess if it's not happening outside your door it's not really happening. Perhaps we should only name storms that affect Sussex eh.
