Well Macdonalds have accepted my deliver order.

It will be interesting over the next few hours to see if it is just arriving a little later than expected or if it is not that bad. Hopefully it isn’t that bad.

Try throwing a chip in the air, and see if your French Fries can blow across the channel to become French Flies.

That's in kmp though... 55mph at its peak is nothing like what was being forecast yesterday

What a good site that is. So far I've shown my daughter at least 5 times, the dog's seen it, the cat glanced at it as he scent marked my keyboard for the 1000th time today.

Yeah, looks like a damp squib if that's right. Barely windy at all in London.

It’s showing gusts at 144kph (90mph) for mid Sussex

That is set at wind speed not gusts. Change to gusts.

It’s arrived

Standard delivery transaction without issue.

Instant regret after consuming though, as standard

Look at the gust speed instead of the wind speed and click to 12pm and you get gusts of 80+MPH across Sussex

Tempted to start a what belongs in a full English thread based on these outrageous claims. Chips on a breakfast, blimey

That's why my post said look at the wind GUSTS

Just walked into the office. Yes, it's a bit blowy but it's hardly the Great Storm.

Brighton 12:00 gusts to 85 MPH. Batten down the hatches.

If anyone lives in Lewes District Council they've suspended waste collection today. Sensible decision, but maybe more sensible if they'd done it yesterday before everyone put the bins out and left for work

I have just noticed that yesterday afternoon at 4.30 the LDC Twitter account mentioned there were no plans to cancel bin collection, also mentioned they had been contacted by concerned residents because of the severe weather warnings.

You are correct saying it would have been more sensible to announce yesterday. Most of the residents in my road put the bins out on a Thursday evening because bins are usually collected at about 7am.

 

[Questions]

French side of the channel still only Amber alert

The French will surrender to the storm before it turns red.
