Not on East Street
Hit and miss really, you had to be outside to see it.
I have had some good times in East Street in the past.
Won't need them. From next year this poncey Mediterranean sun will do one once it gets to about Rouen and the UK will be cloudy and grey, 15 degrees and slightly foggy. Perfect for wearing a cardigan in. If that doesn't make Britain great again, nothing will.

Now there's a thing. i read somewhere, in the distant past, if you unplug, the lightning will hit something else to ground out causing more damage. leave it plugged in and you just lose your 65" walled mounted flat screen
i need to have a google

Ye but I blame Farage for no storms as he’s always moaning about things coming over the channel

I've read somewhere that if you get yourself a sword, stick it in the air and shout "I've got the power" you'll be able to conduct most of the near-by lighting bolts away from your home. The trick is to put the sword into some sort of rock afterwards.

I think I may have spotted a flaw in your plan

We maybe in the premier league, but I'm still league one standard.
Eager and enthusiastic, without the tools to perform
Mrs Jakarta and I had some friends, sadly now both passed away, who had a ski lodge overlooking Lake Geneva on the French Side.
We went for Dinner in Switzerland over the lake and noted as we got the Ferry back that the sky was getting very black.
By the time we got back to their lodge a proper, proper electrical storm was kicking off.
It literally illuminated the Mountains and Lake for 2-3 hours.
Think these Continentals get proper weather as I have never seen the like again.
The top of the Adriatic where Italy Austria and Croatia meet is a real hot spot for huge storms end of August through September every building no matter how small gets lightning protection fitted as standard seen many in this area last year we flew into one that was exciting our flight made it into land we were on a Dreamliner but smaller planes rerouted to another airport, this area it's not the far from where you were staying as the storm crow flys just over the Alps
Sadly . . . I love a bit of summer, but we need to cool off and re moisturise!

That's interesting.i hadn't heard that.as I understand it if the aerial is plugged in then the lightning will strike my aerial on the roof sending high voltage down the aerial lead into my telly which then explodes like a claymore mine in my lounge but also the charge then travels via the telly into the plug socket and then around the whole house blowing up all the sockets and starting small fires so I've always unplugged the aerial at the first rumble. but I will check out your theory as it's a good point.Now there's a thing. i read somewhere, in the distant past, if you unplug, the lightning will hit something else to ground out causing more damage. leave it plugged in and you just lose your 65" walled mounted flat screen
